Church hurt is a very real type of trauma that has only recently been acknowledged as such. Like any trauma, religious trauma has the potential to affect many aspects of our life, including our relationships with others, ability to trust, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, and overall quality of life.

If you have been been hurt by the Church, but do not want to give up on your relationship with God, know that there is hope and there is healing available for you. We at Hesed Counseling encourage you to find a licensed professional who specializes in trauma to assist you on this healing journey.

Your first step towards spiritual healing can start today!

Pride Month matters to me as a service provider because the intersectionality between neurodiverse individuals and those who identify as LGBTQIA+ informs my work. This connection is not always well understood. But even more importantly Pride Month matters to me as a person because everyone deserves love and support.

Autistic adults and adolescents are approximately eight times more likely to identify as asexual and 'other' sexuality than their non-autistic peers.

Neurodivergent and LGTBQIA+ individuals are often bullied, shunned, treated as outcasts, or are otherwise looked down upon as not equal to those around them.

LGTBQIA+ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt su***de than their peers because of the stigmas society places on them.

Su***de is a leading cause of premature death among autistic individuals.

One in four autistic youth experience suicidal ideation and almost one in ten attempt su***de.

Autistic youth are six times more likely to attempt su***de and twice more likely to die by su***de and at a significantly younger age compared to their non-autistic peers.

Creating a safe, supportive community where individuals can be their authentic self is vitally important for life happiness and health.

Resources:
If you, or someone you know, are experiencing thoughts of su***de or self-harm, please seek help immediately.
