with Dr Julie Clayton

This four-week workshop equips participants with a framework to assess and evaluate where they currently find themselves in pastoral practice – and determine what is needed to address the ongoing traumatic waves that impact pandemic-ridden congregations.   

Specific attention will be given to understanding the complex nature of family systems and how they impact an individual, a family unit, and the larger congregational community.   

Participants will leave these sessions empowered to respond with deepening holistic healing strategies that are trauma-informed and trauma-oriented. 

Facilitated by Dr Julie Clayton. Hosted by LeaderShift Director, Allison Rennie

Facilitator: Dr Julie Clayton

Julie has been an adult educator and mental health practitioner for over 25 years. Drawing from her academic training, her experience in pastoring numerous congregations in The Salvation Army, while also teaching in varying academic institutions, Julie brings a keen desire to help people realize their best versions of themselves.   

Now operating a private counselling practice in New Westminster BC (Tipping Point Consulting & Counselling Services), Julie has been rated the top trauma therapist in the area by Psychology Today.  

Julie is regularly helping people to address complex mental health problems, which are often the result of unresolved past trauma. She loves this frontline work and the privilege she has to teach mental health first aid on behalf of the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Julie believes maximum mental health is possible for everyone, but it takes capacity to understand brain and body connections, courage to speak our personal story and conviction to master negative mental health cycles.  

Julie has three adult children and four grandchildren. She enjoys swimming, playing piano, reading & researching, serving in the Downtown Eastside, and supporting the ministry of a new church plant called Cross Culture Ministries BC in Burnaby, where she serves as a co-pastor in her free time.
