DATES: 9-12 January 2020

Location: International Linguistic Center, 7500 W Camp Wisdom Rd, Dallas, TX

Registration Fee: $170 Includes training materials and snacks

TIMINGS: Thursday 6:00-9:00pm, Friday-Sunday ALL day, 8:30-5:00pm

ABOUT THIS SESSION: This advanced session, the second of two seminars, continues the equipping process for facilitators in Bible-based Trauma Healing using the book ‘Healing the Wounds of Trauma: How the Church Can Help’ and its associated program model. This proven approach uses applied Scripture and best mental health principles to address spiritual and emotional wounds caused by the trauma of war, ethnic conflicts, natural disasters, car accidents, abuse, and similar events. The book has been translated and taught in over 50 countries with more than 150 language groups in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas.

The advanced session hones the skills acquired at the initial session and during the practicum. By the end of this session, trainees should be better able to solve program issues arising in trauma healing as they carry out their ministries. They should understand the materials completely and clearly and be able to teach in a participatory way. Participants who have the necessary competencies are certified as Healing Group Facilitators at the end of the advanced session. If a participant exhibits strong facilitation skills, he/she may be asked to considering being certified as a Training Facilitator to help conduct Initial Equippings.

REQUIREMENTS for attending the Advanced Equipping Session:

Participants must have:

1. Successfully completed an Initial Equipping Session, and
2. also led or co-led at least two healing groups through the 5 core lessons (or some equivalent activity) and submitted their reports.
