Looking for a resource to help people find healing and reconnect with God through the Bible?
No matter who we are, none of us are immune from experiencing loss and pain, grief or even trauma. We believe that God is close to those whose hearts have been broken and that when we suffer, the Bible can help!
“Trauma is a deep wound of the heart and mind that takes a long time to heal. It hurts every part of us – how we relate to others, how our body feels, what we think about, as well as our ability to trust God. In short, it can leave us feeling separated from God and others.”
Healing the Wounds of Trauma
Bible-based Trauma Healing is a unique programme designed to help Christians and the local church provide a compassionate response to hurting and traumatised people in their communities.
It is estimated that at least 50% of people will experience trauma at some point in their life. Bringing together the wisdom of the Bible with proven mental health practices in a way that’s accessible to all, Bible-based trauma healing can be used as a pastoral resource to enable people who are hurting to begin to find hope and healing, through engaging with Scripture and reconnecting with God.
“…such a valuable tool for the local church
to come alongside the hurting and the wounded.”
Course Participant
Since 2017, we have been working with the Trauma Healing Institute to bring the ‘Healing the Wounds of Trauma’ programme to churches in Scotland today.
300 people have now attended training to facilitate healing groups, at least 80 groups have been run, with more than 700 people taking part in these groups.

Our Bible-based trauma healing programme equips local church members (or Christians working or volunteering in other organisations) to run healing small groups in their own church or community setting. Many Christians want to respond with compassion to those who are hurting, but it takes knowledge and skill to help people wounded by trauma, grief, or loss, without harming them more.
The programme we provide consists of three phases of training. If you would like to find out more about what the programme entails or receive details about one of our forthcoming trainings, simply fill out the form below, letting us know which option you are interested in.
“I think every church in Scotland should have a Trauma Healing group and use this material”
“On the night after the second class about bringing pain to the cross, I had the best night’s sleep that I had had for several months.”
