Three Ways to Bring Trauma Healing to your church or ministry

What is trauma?
Wounds of the heart can make people feel isolated from their relationships, their bodies, their thoughts and their faith.

Trauma healing downloads
It often feels difficult to pray when we are experiencing deep suffering. But the Bible has a blueprint for a kind of prayer that helps us pour out our pain to God: a lament. This easy-to-use resource shows how we can begin to heal by crying out to God.
Crisis response tools
Beyond Disaster is a guide for spiritual first aid for people who have survived natural or human-caused disasters. It can be used any time following a disaster, but is most beneficial once the initial shock has passed.
Leader resources
We created this discussion guide to help groups of people learn about trauma and healing together, using our free resources that combine mental-health best practices and the wisdom of the Bible.
3.
Equip your leaders
Grief, loss and trauma are pervasive in our communities.
Painful situations can often become obstacles that keep us from connecting with God, engaging with Scripture, and living life to the full. This is why we help equip leaders with practical training and effective resources, empowering your communities to move beyond pain into flourishing.
