Course Overview

Our Trauma-Informed Ministry and Grief Support program is designed to equip leaders, volunteers, and caregivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to support individuals navigating significant loss and traumatic events. This training integrates biblical wisdom with modern psychological insights to foster a safe and restorative environment for those in pain.

We focus on the 'ministry of presence'—learning how to walk alongside others without judgment, providing a steady anchor of hope when foundations are shaken. This course is essential for anyone serving in chaplaincy, pastoral care, or community outreach.
