Around 120 people met on a damp Saturday in Cardiff to listen to renowned psychologist Dr Diane Langberg share her deep knowledge of different forms of abuse, grief and on ‘care for the caregiver’.

Dr Langberg has nearly 50 years’ experience working with trauma victims and survivors of different forms of abuse, ranging from sexual and physical abuse; experiences of war; and increasingly, abuse of power in churches.

The conference, hosted by the Soul Care Network of the Wales Leadership Forum at Thornhill Church, Cardiff, focused on understanding how trauma affects Christians and the needs of those who experience it. A brief presentation was also given by Jacquie Wright and Cliff Turner from Church as a Refuge.
