Danél F. Griffin was raised in the Southern Baptist Church, and spent most of his teenager years and his 20s as an SBC pastor. He began to question this worldview on 2005 and formally left the Church in 2006. Since then, he has worked with children in various settings -- including in preschools, elementary schools, rescue shelters, mental health hospitals, treatment centers, and as an adjunct literature professor. While working with kids in these settings, he became aware of Religious Trauma Syndrome both in his clients and in his own story. He now hopes to create a safe place for all those on a deconstructing journey.
