Helping people heal from the pain of trauma

TRAUMA HEALING

When people experience loss and trauma, they become wounded. Trauma takes away a person’s voice. Trauma destroys relationships and trust.

Transform Minnesota, in partnership with American Bible Society, is honored to bring Bible based trauma healing to the Twin Cities. The Trauma Healing Initiative combines biblical and mental health practices and principles, and offers narrative, experiential, and participatory lessons to bring healing through a “train the trainer” approach.

See the attached document for more details about the programs within the Trauma Healing Initiative.

Interested in Attending a Trauma Healing Group?
“The Trauma Healing sessions directly addressed what I was going through and gave me a safe place to share and process my pain. The sessions also showed me …what normal grieving and healing process looks like and gave me insightful tools to apply along the way.”

Breanna S.

“I appreciated the opportunity to share some difficult things I’ve been feeling with others who cared – it was a gift to process with people who were learning how to care for others well. I found that God’s Word is so kind and sweet to tell me and show me how He cares for us.”

Meredith L.

“It’s hard to talk about hard things – but when we do and invite the Lord into it, there is healing. I’m so grateful for this material that gently leads us into places of healing. As we give the Holy Spirit space to work in the lives of those we shepherd, He meets us all there with His gentle love. This material – as a weekend workshop or a weekly class – is a wonderful start to teaching about and experiencing the healing God freely gives.”

Pastor Shawna Daun
