By Our Wounds We Can Heal

Join psychologists Drs. Emily and Essence Deming-Rivers for insightful conversations on mental health, faith, and creating truly inclusive communities. They explore how religious spaces have historically created barriers and conditions that push marginalized people away. Drawing on their expertise and personal experience, they discuss how personal wounds and lived experiences can be transformed into powerful sources of healing, empathy, and advocacy. Learn how to recognize concepts like intersectionality and the bystander effect, challenge exclusionary systems, and foster a sense of belonging where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and like their voice matters. Discover how you are already qualified to contribute to collective healing and create positive change.
