At this initial equipping session, participants will learn basic biblical and mental health principles related to trauma care; explore if they themselves are carrying any wounds of trauma or loss and bring those to Christ for healing; learn how to lead groups in a participatory way; learn the program model; and develop plans for using what they have learned in their communities.

This session is intended for people who would like to explore becoming a trauma healing caregiver or facilitator so that they can provide basic care for those wounded by trauma and loss, or (optionally) train others to do so. Mental health professionals can benefit from this practical approach that is effective with groups cross-culturally. This session is appropriate for caregivers who will work in the USA or internationally.

Necessary qualifications:

  • Able to communitcate in English
  • Able to teach others in a community
  • Able to attend all of the sessions
  • At least 18 years old
  • Committed to helping trauma survivors

Registration Deadline is January 18. Fee includes training materials, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and snacks. Contact Steve Moses (steve.moses@me.com) with any questions about the training.
