How can religious networks assist in
reducing mental health crises? In this session, Neelley Hicks,
M.Div. will share how NASMHPD's TAMAR (Trauma,
Addiction, Mental health, And Recovery) program is providing
trauma-informed community care in houses of prayer as well
as non-religious settings. TAMAR was developed in the late 1990s as part of a
federally funded program for incarcerated women in
Maryland. It has since been implemented in multiple
justice and behavioral health systems across the nation and used in
various faith-based and community programs
internationally. The original TAMAR intervention was updated
in 2019 to create a clinical intervention that combines
psychoeducation about trauma and its impact with concrete
techniques designed to help participants of any
gender identify their triggers and learn and practice
skills for self-regulating trauma symptoms.
