Originally featured in the Spring 2025 issue of Corrections Today, “Walking with the Wounded: Trauma-Informed Ministry in Prisons” examines the powerful intersection of trauma, incarceration, and spiritual care. Written by Sheridan Correa, the article invites chaplains and ministry leaders to better understand how unresolved trauma can shape behavior, relationships, and responses to authority—and how trauma-informed principles can help create environments of safety, trust, compassion, and hope. More than a ministry approach, trauma-informed care offers a way to walk alongside wounded people with greater understanding while supporting meaningful healing and transformation.
