Is your team prepared to handle the complexity and urgency of abuse allegations?

In the Christian environment, a godly response demands not only competence but also compassion and integrity. GRACE's C.A.R.E. (Case Analysis, Response, and Evaluation) Simulation Training is a rigorous, four-day program designed for denominational or local ministry leaders to prepare for a cohesive, effective, and trauma-informed abuse response.

Our training utilizes realistic, interactive case simulations informed by GRACE's extensive experience consulting and investigating cases of abuse in the church. You will walk away with a solid foundational understanding of abuse dynamics, recognized best practices, and the confidence to implement a faithful, protective response.

You will gain competency applying skills to a wide variety of abusive contexts, learning how to skillfully classify complex situations and your appropriate role and response. Interactive scenarios include cases involving:

• Children, adults, and vulnerable adults

• Criminal (e.g. assault) and non-criminal (e.g. spiritual abuse) matters

• A lack of factual clarity vs. cases where the facts are not in dispute

• A potential for more victims

• Leaders with influence and power

• Unhealthy spiritual environments vs. spiritually abusive environments
