Finding Healing Together

Be empowered to facilitate healing groups in your language, anytime and anywhere

Anchored in Hope is our new app-based small group healing program used entirely within the THI Mobile App. We developed this format based on our proven healing group book-based program, Healing the Wounds of Trauma: How the Church Can Help. It features a more streamlined video-based training experience and everything you need to become a trained facilitator and lead a group is included!

Using mental health best practices and the transformative power of Scripture, people are led to an understanding of their heart wounds and a deeper understanding of God’s love for them during pain and suffering. In a small group setting where healing can take place in community, participants engage in times of personal reflection, group activities, exercises, and discussions related to key topics to help them along their healing journey.

Reporting

As a critical piece to our funding, we require Anchored in Hope facilitators to report their small groups to THI. We’ve made this easy by building this reporting function into the app. Just make sure that you successfully “Close and Report” your group at your last session. Your report will be sent automatically to the THI database with the information you provided.
