An afternoon just for YOU!
Caring for the Caregivers
Step into a space created just for you—those who faithfully carry the wounds, stories, and spiritual burdens of others. The SILS 2026 Pre-Summit event presented by C-SASI is your rare opportunity to pause, breathe deeply, and be poured into as you continue the sacred work of walking with individuals and couples impacted by sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. With dedicated men’s and women’s tracks, powerful panels led by top leaders in the field, ministry time, interactive breakouts, and a unifying combined session, you will leave refreshed, equipped, connected, and renewed in your God-given mission. Join us on Wednesday afternoon, April 29 for a powerful time of personal soul-care.
Past attendees describe SILS as a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you'll feel right at home. More important than even the excellent training we offer are the new partnerships and friendships formed with people that absolutely "get" you. The days are packed with informative sessions, plus times of interactive discussion. 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
The world's darkness has been growing. More and more people are hurting--and hurting others. They come to you for help, pleading, hungry for healing. God has raised up caregivers within and outside the Church to be His hands and feet. Even so, it's difficult, challenging, frustrating work. How can we handle the tsunami of brokenness washing up against our churches and communities? Join us in Atlanta as we feast on the light and love of Jesus, receive His grace, and be renewed in our calling to take the light of Jesus into dark places.

- In Their Words -
2025 Summit attendees share their SILS experiences:
"I felt I was personally able to have deep connection moments with God throughout the event." -- attendee
“One of the most edifying conferences I have attended as a therapist. The challenge of incorporating our faith into the counseling world can seem daunting, especially when it comes to addictions. It can be easy to forget the fundamental role that sin, confession, repentance, and other aspects of our Christian walk plays in healing.” -- breakout speaker
"SILS is a slice of Heaven. The people there are pouring out their lives for the sake of the Church, and they are the best people on earth! It's the highlight of our year every year." -- Summit sponsor
"There is an intimacy that is experienced having the conference in a church vs a hotel. It is a constant reminder that we are all imperfect, yet God wants to use us, our stories, our struggles, our giftedness, for His Glory and our benefit.” -- attendee
"I would consider myself a counselor who specializes in sexual addiction or even betrayal trauma. I feel more equipped after attending the summit." -- attendee
"I'm so grateful to find like-minded peers who care about purity in the body of Christ I can collaborate with and pray for." -- Summit attendee
