Healing the wounds of trauma

The Lord is near to those who are discouraged, he saves those who have lost all hope.

What is Trauma Healing?
Bible-based Trauma Healing is a unique programme which can help the local church provide a compassionate response to traumatised people in their communities
Emotional trauma impacts more than one in seven people worldwide. In the aftermath of human tragedy — war, famine, abuse and more recently pandemic — people lose hope. They feel trapped in a cycle of reliving their pain and struggle to believe that God can heal or release them from it.
But Scripture contains a message of hope that can bring healing.

In 2017 the Scottish Bible Society, alongside the Trauma Healing Institute and Scottish church leaders, joined together to consider whether a Bible-based Trauma Healing programme would be a useful addition to the ministries of churches in Scotland today.
Since the first training session in January 2018, 180 people have been trained to lead groups, 60 healing groups have been established, and over 260 people have attended groups.
More recently new resources have been developed to specifically address the Covid-19 outbreak. 25 online groups have been running during the pandemic. But in 2022 we are finally able to run some our courses in-person, as well as continuing our online training.

testimonials
“I think every church in Scotland should have a Trauma Healing group and use this material”
“On the night after the second class about bringing pain to the cross, I had the best night’s sleep that I had had for several months.”
“For myself knowing and discussing the fact that when Christ went to The Cross He took not only all our sin but also all our pain when he suffered there was so reassuring.”
