About this Event
The proven model of Trauma Healing uses applied Scripture and mental health principles to address spiritual and emotional wounds caused by the trauma of war, violence, natural disasters, and abuse. The book Healing the Wounds of Trauma: How the Church Can Help has been translated and taught in over 100 countries with more than 194 language groups in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas.
The advanced equipping session hones the skills of those who have already attended an initial session and completed their practicum. By the end of this session, trainees should be better able to solve program issues arising in trauma healing as they carry out their ministries. They should understand the materials completely and be able to teach clearly and in a participatory way. Participants who have the necessary competencies are certified as healing group facilitators or training facilitators at the end of the advanced session.
Join us November 9-13 for the Advanced Training.
