We are excited to help you start your Trauma Healing journey! Please check out our Events Page for all of our upcoming events. There are two ways that you could get started:
1) Experience a Healing Group. This will give you a sense of what a Healing Group is like as a participant, and help you decide if you want to lead Healing Groups yourself. Use the filter on the top of the Events Page to sort for Healing Groups. Once you have completed a Healing Group, you could choose to be trained as a facilitator by taking a Facilitator/Certification Training or Logistics Session. This supplementary Facilitator/Certification Training or Logistics Session (sometimes named differently on the Events Page) contains the training necessary to teach you how to lead Healing Groups.
2) Register for an Initial Equipping Session. Initial Equipping Sessions include both the Healing Group experience and the Facilitator Training/Logistics Session. Use the filter on the top of the Events Page to sort for Equipping Session - Initial. Be sure to check the prerequisites.
When you see an event you want to attend and click on it, you will see more information and how to register. If you have my questions about a specific event, please email the contact person listed on the event as they would have details pertaining to that event. Trauma Healing Institute is only advertising the event on their behalf.
Once you complete the full training, you are certified to lead Healing Groups. Healing Groups are small groups led by a trained facilitators, using material that the Trauma Healing Institute provides. These groups help participants identify their heart wounds and find healing through a combination of Scripture engagement and basic mental health helping skills.
Currently, the majority of our Trauma Healing activities are being conducted virtually due to Covid-19.
