Faith-Based Referral Screening Worksheet

Before you refer a client to a faith-based organization, an important religious trauma-informed practice is to take time to visit the resource to screen for possible religious trauma triggers that your clients may experience when seeking services there.

Our Co-Founder, Rev. Dr. Christie Love, specializes in the research of Religious Trauma and the development of trauma-informed resources. She has created an evaluation sheet that mental health professionals can use to screen faith-based organizations in their community that they may refer a client to for social services.

Using this worksheet to identify potential religious trauma triggers that faith-based organizations in your area have allows you to inform clients of these potential experiences BEFORE they go so that you can discuss coping skills that they could use if needed.
