An Experiential Night of Trauma-Informed Care
Join us for an impactful and hands-on experience designed to increase awareness and skills for walking alongside individuals impacted by trauma. This session will explore both unhealthy and healthy ways of responding to those in need, using a two-stage role-play to highlight and practice a biblically grounded, trauma-informed approach. Add this essential pre-Summit training to your registration for just $30.
You can expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you'll feel right at home. You'll gain new resources to use in your ministry, but more importantly, you'll gain new partnerships with the people at the Summit. The days packed full of informative sessions, plus times of interactive discussion. In between are breaks to connect with others at the event. You'll have the chance to grab lunch with some of the presenters, sharing ideas and building relationships.
