Otherwise you just need yourself! \n \n \n \n \n \n Will there be the opportunity for trauma counseling\, therapy or prayer ministry?\n If you require prayer ministry\, therapy or counseling we would strongly encourage you to access this from an experienced therapist who is qualified to help those who carry trauma.
