The Foundations of Narrative Focused Trauma Care

What exactly is Narrative Focused Trauma Care? It’s grounded in
the belief that healing is not only possible but also essential
to the unfolding gospel story within and around us. This holistic
approach integrates psychology and theology to holistically
engage the heartbreaking impact of trauma and abuse with
compassion and care through story. 


The Allender Center specializes in training people to understand
their own stories in order to more deeply enter the lives of
those they are called to love and serve. We come alongside to
equip and develop skills for wading into the difficult waters of
heartache, trauma, and abuse.


The foundations of Narrative Focused Trauma Care are unpacked in
Level I training, where you'll explore your own narratives and
those of others, with the ultimate goal of moving towards healing
– for yourself, your relationships, and the broader community,
paving the way for future generations


In this episode, Dan and Rachael will lead us through the four
intensive weekends of Narrative Focused Trauma Care Level I
training, offering insights into what participants can expect and
some of the transformative experiences that wait for you.


Dan emphasizes, “We want people to imagine in the small and in
whatever ways they are drawn to dream, to begin to move into…
better trauma care through story and ultimately the story of
Jesus.”
