Abstract

The purpose of this project was to equip staff members of Baptist Friendship House, New Orleans, Louisiana, to minister to abused women post-Hurricane Katrina. To gain an understanding of how abuse of women has become widespread, the project director researched and provided current statistics on abused women. Educational and social work professionals were enlisted to review materials utilized in the development of the workshop. Texts were utilized to explain the cycle of violence. Dynamics, myths, and legal issues of abuse were explored. The project enabled the staff members to advocate for and empower women entrapped in abuse. Case studies provided sensitive information on responding to victims of abuse. Teaching methods used allowed staff members to explore the dynamics of abuse. Information was undergirded by biblical and theological rationales.
