The documentary Emanuel explores the origins of this tragic attack and the congregation and community’s surprising response to the tragedy. Participants discover how religious and spiritual values promoted forgiveness and strengthened resilience. The film deals frankly with issues of racism, racial injustice, trauma, radicalization and recruitment, and resilience. The presentations and discussions provide an opportunity to explore these themes as they relate to clinical work with children and adolescents. Participants learn the risk for radicalization among disaffected youth, the tools available to help patients and families be open in addressing issues of diversity and race, and ways to promote recovery in patients who experience trauma.
