dc.description.abstract	For the Karen people of Burma, religious beliefs and spirituality are integral components of their culture. This article highlights the importance of developing culturally competent, spiritually sensitive responses within social work practice when working with people who have experienced displacement and subsequent trauma. Those affected by organized violence and displacement are faced with the challenge of how to maintain family relationships and networks. People often return to spirituality and their religious beliefs as a means of finding solace and connection.	en
