Stories from the Heart: "Healing with Love" for Strong Communities
This cause aims to create "local healing leaders" who can reach those experiencing emotional trauma and utilize the correct process for timely healing. This provides a second chance for vulnerable youth and families to regain mental health without relying on outside experts.
What is the course?
The Community Trauma Healing Leaders Course will create a sustainable network of primary caregivers addressing the growing mental health crisis, such as the high rate of suicide in youth, high-risk families, and the lack of leaders with specialized healing processes.
Target Audience
– Vulnerable youth, at-risk families, and those with depression
– Youth leaders, church leaders, and village health volunteers – a total of 25 leaders who will be providing healing.
Methodology
Train 25 leaders through a healing manual, emphasizing practical training.
Visit at-risk families and screen for problems.
Conduct a step-by-step healing process.
Follow up through family mission groups to ensure sustainable care.
Expected Outcomes
Leaders will have skills to help others, at-risk families receive healing, reduce violence, reduce youth suicide risk, and establish a self-sufficient community mental health care system.
Reasons for Support Needed
After over 17 years of youth development, our community is facing severe trauma from family, drug, and economic issues. Building healing leaders is a way to bring lasting hope to this remote community through comprehensive care and ongoing monitoring.
Strong and intimate families exemplify love by nurturing one another and extending that love to others. Through their support and connection, they create a community that fosters compassion, understanding, and the spirit of generosity, serving as a model for how to care for one another and make a positive impact in the world
