Revered Carrie Nettles is a Chaplain and Victim Service Provider at the Julie Valentine Children’s Advocacy Center in Greenville, SC. As the first ever Chaplain to work at a CAC in the US, Carrie has led the way for spirituality to be a component offered at CACs for the overall healing for clients we serve. For many survivors of abuse, spirituality plays a major role in their healing journey. Carrie graciously shares her experience in caring for the spiritual needs of CAC clients and how her role as a Chaplain places her in the gap between bridging the mental health and faith communities.
Carrie is also our KeyNote Speaker for our Second Annual Faith Leaders Breakfast on November 14th. See the link to register below if you are a faith leader or pass it along to one you know!
