“…In other words, a holistic approach to the individual is used, where the person's well-being is understood inseparably from the social and transcendent dimensions [24][25][26]. This type of assistance is provided by employing the resources of religious faith and using interventions grounded on advances in the science of psychology [27][28][29]. Summarising typologies of religiousspiritual assistance practices, Marques (2021) [30] distinguishes the following key practices used in the Catholic context: "accompanying" and "leading to other religious mediators" (p. 6).…”

Researchers’ interest in the impact of religious–spiritual assistance on victims of violence has increased in recent decades; however, factors that are relevant to workplace mobbing victims who seek such assistance remain poorly investigated. The purpose of this study is to highlight the factors that make spiritual assistance of religious organizations acceptable to religious and non-religious workplace mobbing victims. The study involved 463 adults working in Lithuanian organizations, of whom 79.5 per cent indicated that they were religious. ANOVA and Chi-square tests revealed that the significant factors were similarity of personal and religious values, the relation with the person providing assistance, and the circumstances characterising assistance. This study promotes further scientific discussion on the involvement of religious organizations in helping victims of workplace mobbing and explains why religious and non-religious individuals seeking assistance turn to religious organizations. The article presents only a part of the research results of the implemented project.

“…Victims have attested to the fact that God, prayer, kindness, and love of others made a tremendous difference in regaining a new life.

“…Psalm 103:6 states,"The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed (Psalm 103:6)." According to Deventer and Sremac [15], "Another testimony expressed a gratitude for the kindness of those who assisted them when they were in need. What others did for them, and the love that was extended, touched the victims deeply and was an integral part in their process of change" (p.443).…”

Victims of human trafficking endure physical and mental anguish. Young children and women can suffer from physical violence during laborious work, or client and owner encounters. Owners of victims are also abusive and manipulative in order to force compliance. They can also suffer from mental illnesses as a result of long term abuse. According to Zimmerman [1], “Labor trafficking, including both forced and bonded labor is by far the largest category of human trafficking” [2,3]. Zimmerman states that, "The State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (2009) estimates that just 1.39 million individuals out of the 12.3 million persons enslaved worldwide are trafficked into the commercial sex industry” (p. 568). Children caught up in this crime should not be classified as juvenile delinquents as they are clearly victims. Boxill [4] explains that, “American children who have been prostituted describes these children primarily as juvenile delinquents” (p. 138). These children should not be considered juvenile delinquents and provided with appropriate health care to become productive citizens. Women and children should be cared foras victims and receive the appropriate mental health treatment from government and community entities.

“…Solving the arising crises, the same methods of coping with the spiritual post-traumatic state are treated as the ones that have answered the purpose. These are the prayer of intercession and the personal prayer as regular communication with God (Deventer-Noordeloos and Sremac, 2018 ), involvement in the activities of the community (Schuster et al, 2001 ), reading of the Holy Scripture and meditation (Hartwick and Kang, 2013 ), and other methods. That is, the conception of spiritual coping is more a reflection of the “technique” or means used by individuals on their own or after receiving the advice of a pastor or counselor.…”

Religious assistance is an effective tool in helping the victims of violence, but so far, it has not been investigated that what promotes the persons aggrieved in the workplace to seek such assistance. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the motives of persons who have experienced destructive relationships, which inspire the search for spiritual assistance in religious organizations, seeking to develop the provision of such service. After the analysis of the scientific literature, a questionnaire “Motives of Persons Aggrieved at Work for Seeking Spiritual Assistance (MP-SSA-40)” was developed and validated. In this study, a survey was conducted on 463 persons working in Lithuanian organizations using the questionnaire survey method. The correlation and regression analyses were performed. The study has shown that the religiosity of the victim is not the only condition for seeking spiritual assistance. Significant factors are the congruence of values borne by the person and the religious organization, the motives arising from the relation with the person providing assistance, and the motives determined by circumstances that create an important contextual background. The established trends show that by solving work-related problems and problems of interpersonal relationships of assistance providers, obstacles hindering the implementation of intrinsic motives of the victim to apply for spiritual assistance to the religious organization, providing it can be removed. The value of the article is demonstrated by the fact that it fills the existing gaps of knowledge about the motives of victims of destructive relationships at work, seeking religious spiritual assistance. In addition, a new and reliable instrument to measure such motives is proposed.
