Our first in a series of webinars made possible by funds from the Lilly Grant Foundation.

Trauma-Informed Practice from TEND Academy

Supporting people with complex needs can be challenging. Providing responsive and compassionate service is only possible when we recognize the pervasive impact that trauma can have on a person’s life and the way they engage with the world. When we reframe our perspective from “what is wrong with you” to “what happened to you,” we help to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, and collaboration. 

In this setting, we empower the people we serve, those we work alongside, and ourselves to fully engage with the services we provide. 

Understanding Your Grief: Touchstones for Hope and Healing
MAY 7 - 7pm to 9pm

When Grief is Complicated: "A Model to Understand Identity, and Companion Grievers"
MAY 8 - 9am to 4pm

Jaime Atan of Spiritual First Aid will lead participants to take the guesswork out of helping with Spiritual First Aid's BLESS CPR step-by-step spiritual and emotional care framework.

You will walk away with practical tools for making a difference so you can become the helpers others need them to be, and so they can stop worrying if they did enough to help.

Join and connect with other Care leaders who want to build a sustainable and strategic care ministry.

This free online workshop is the last in our Fall Grow series.

Abby Buter will teach you to recognize and respond to trauma as you provide pastoral care in your ministry.

Attention pastors, clergy, chaplains, spiritual care providers and anybody providing spiritual care to the dying and the bereaved. Please join us Wednesday, October 25, 9:45–3:30 p.m. at Emmanuel College for Anne Simmonds’ workshop: "Preparing for Death in the Midst of Life and in the Time of MAiD." Proudly hosted by Emmanuel College’s Centre for Religion and Its Contexts.
