Protocols for Safety in Personal Ministry and Ministry to Survivors

I answer many questions having to do with maintaining safety in all restoration ministry situations and espciailly ministry in person.  When is a person spiritually ready to minister to survivors?  How do you close your own open doors?  What are the guidelines for personal ministry?  How do you discern appropriate ministry to survivors of abuse?  How do you prevent a high risk situation?  Why have a signed application, confidentiality and liability form?  Why have trained assistants?  Why have safe conduct guidelines?  What legal aspects apply?  Why is mentoring a must?
