Trauma Healing

Helping Individuals Process Pain and Reclaim Hope

Our Trauma Healing program combines a Bible-based framework with proven mental health practices to help individuals recover from painful experiences and rebuild connection with God, others, and themselves. Designed for small-group settings and grounded in adult learning theory, the course promotes healing through meaningful discussion, reflection, and practical application.

 

Who We Serve

• Incarcerated adults seeking emotional and spiritual healing

• People of faith looking to integrate Scripture into their healing journey What the Program Covers The course includes six core lessons designed to:

• Define trauma and its physical, emotional, and spiritual impact

• Help participants safely explore and process their own life experiences

• Foster forgiveness, resilience, and restoration

• Equip individuals to support others who are also healing

• Each lesson integrates Scripture, clinical insights, and peer dialogue in a supportive, confidential environment. How

Trauma Healing is currently offered exclusively at the Sander Estes Unit in collaboration with facility leadership. Three classes are held concurrently, including two led by three certified peer facilitators who are incarcerated individuals and have completed official Trauma Healing facilitator training.

 

Class frequency and timing are coordinated with the facility and may vary depending on operational needs.
