SUMMARY:Becoming a Healing Ministry for Your Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:There are families you are ministering to who need healing in and through their relationships. How we heal in relationship with others is the essence of trauma informed care\, and it is why having a trauma informed lens is essential in your children’s ministry. A trauma informed ministry takes into account the whole story of the person and creates a safe atmosphere for everyone where they can learn and focus on their relationship with God. In this training\, we will learn how trauma impacts a child’s brain\, body\, and behavior as well as strategies that will help you create an environment where all children can feel connected\, safe\, and able to learn. The goals for this training will be to learn about what trauma is\, how it applies to all those in our church \, and how to implement strategies for a trauma informed ministry. Lunch will be provided!

SUMMARY:Healing Trauma From The Heart With the Brain In Mind
DESCRIPTION:The human brain is an inherently relational organ.  We are all always seeking connection and safety.  When children develop in traumatic or overwhelming environments\, their attempts at finding connection and safety are overwhelmed by terror\, isolation\, or helplessness.  Rapid advances in the relational neurosciences are helping us understand how these overwhelming experiences impact a child’s whole self.  In this day-long workshop\, we will first dive into a basic understanding of brain development\, laying the foundation for the paradigm shifting belief that “Regulated\, connected children who feel safe (and know what to do) behave well.”  After deeply studying the relational neurosciences\, studying with experts in our field\, and curiously watching the healing process unfold in my therapy office\, I believe this down to my core.  We’ll walk through the definitions of regulation\, connection\, and felt safety and we’ll learn concrete ways to increase each of them for children with histories of toxic stress or complex trauma.  Attendees will leave understanding the importance of cultivating presence and regulation in themselves first in order to invite their children into connection and regulation. \nPlease use the link below to register.
