Facilitator Path

We believe that healing from trauma is possible, because with God, all things are possible. If you share in our belief and desire to spread this message to others, our Trauma Healing Group facilitator's path is for you.

By signing up for our THG Facilitator Path, we will not only show you how to facilitate a trauma healing group, but we will offer you the support you need to begin your own THG ministry.

By the end of this program, you will:

Be certified as a healing group facilitator
Have the necessary tools to start your own healing group in your community or church.

In addition, you will receive:

Ongoing mentoring from a Trauma Healing Group Facilitator
Connections with a network of trauma healing facilitators across the country

*Our classic healing group covers 6 core lessons that serve as the foundation for the Trauma Healing Group curriculum. Learn more by visiting our FAQs.

Your equipping Path...

Participate in a Classic Healing Group

Before you can lead, you must experience the power of a healing group for yourself. Your first step is to enroll in a 6-session healing group experience.

Complete Apprentice Equipping Sessions

After you complete the healing group, now it's time to learn the nuts and bolts of starting your own. You will participate in 6-8 hours of LIVE online training to prepare you to start leading your first group. Upon completing this training, you will be certified as an apprentice faciliator.

Organize Your First Group

As an apprentice, now it's time to organize your first healing group. Your mentor will work with you to map out a plan for success. Apprentices must facilitate two healing groups to continue to the next step.

Take an Advance Equipping Session

After you've completed your two healing groups, you will be invited to take an advance equipping session to review key concepts, strengthen your facilitation skills, and to prepare you to expand your impact.
