Healing Happens in Community |
|
Hi friends,
2026 is well underway, and we want to this year to be one in which you experience healing from trauma, grief, or loss—or are equipped to help someone else to heal.
Safe community is a powerful part of the healing journey. We hope you are inspired by Sheila Smith's story. It was only after she experienced a trauma healing group and opened up to others and to God that she found the freedom she'd been seeking her entire life. Sheila started out as a group participant and went on to become group facilitator because she wanted to provide that vital space for hurting people to take the first steps in healing.

Trauma Healing Small Groups |
|
Sheila's testimony is similar to thousands of others who've discovered we heal best when we're not alone — when we are heard, known, and supported in community. |

trained as a facilitator. |

Trauma Healing Basics |
|
Trauma Healing Basics are simple, practical tools that anyone can use to learn about and respond to trauma. These free resources combine mental-health best practices with the wisdom of the Bible. This unique approach to healing the pain of trauma, grief and loss has proven safe and effective in over 150 countries for more than 20 years of ministry.
We created Trauma Healing Basics to work for anyone — they are “basics” by design, so you don’t need any training or special knowledge to use them. If you are suffering the pain of trauma yourself, these resources can help you find healing. And if you feel called to help others cope with their deepest pain, these resources can help you do that. |
