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. Throughout the Summit, you'll feel a sense of community, realizing that you're not alone in the work you're doing.

About this year's Summit theme
Sexual shame and confusion plagues many inside the church today. Like our first parents, Adam and Eve, we prefer to hide from our Creator rather than turning to Him for healing and forgiveness. This year, we aim to help Christian leaders take their clients and congregants deeper into the transformative love of Jesus. Whether you work at a church, para-church ministry, or clinical office, SILS is dedicated to giving you the tools you need to share God's healing touch with those you encounter.
