Joanna Naomi Douglas

As a practising Christian and having overcome her own trauma-related mental health issues Joanna Naomi Douglas is passionate about trauma-informed theology and building trauma-informed worshipping communities.

Joanna is a qualified teacher working with students living with complex social, emotional, educational, and trauma-related mental health needs. Alongside her teaching role, Joanna is currently pursuing a PhD in trauma-informed theology having previously gained a Master degree in this field. 

​

Joanna believes that trauma-informed theology, which combines studies of psychology and theology, is a vital area of research. Joanna aims to make this research accessible to all Christians in a way that equips our Christian worshipping communities to appropriately and adequately support trauma survivors in our congregations.
