Special Interest: Preventing Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse is the use of coercive techniques or manipulative appeals that bypass a person’s critical faculties, plays on psychosocial weaknesses, undermines relationship with family or religious institution, or masks the true nature of faith conversion. Does your church, mosque, synagogue or religious institution have policies against spiritual abuse prevention? How can we as a faith-based organization avoid spiritually abusing those we teach and mentor? Let’s Plan to Protect®!

This webinar is designed for faith-based organizations and religious institutions. Melodie Bissell, the President and CEO of Plan to Protect® will discuss what spiritual abuse is and how we can practically prevent spiritual abuse within our organizations. Let’s raise the bar on protection!

This is not a new topic of interest for Melodie as she has her M.Div., from Tyndale Seminary and is a D.Min. Candidate at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto and cares deeply for victims and the spiritual impact of their abuse.
