The Bible Society has launched a new programme to help churches, faith groups and chaplains support their communities in working through trauma. 

Navigating Trauma is rooted in mental health best practice and uses contextual Bible reading to help people explore what Scripture has to say about suffering, and God's relationship with those who have experienced trauma.

It spans five core sessions with a further eight optional sessions that take place within small groups led by trained volunteers. 

Bible Society Chief Executive Professor Paul Williams said it was a "significant" time to be launching the initiative.  CT.
