Programs and Partnerships
Trauma-Informed, Healing-Centered Learning Communities
We help faith communities learn how to use restorative approaches and resources from their own faith traditions to develop trauma-informed and healing-centered practices, policies, and culture.
Healing Congregations: Nurturing Love, Life, and Hope in a Hurting World
Healing Congregations is a resource book rooted in real people’s stories of journeying hopefully through times of adversity or suffering. The book is a resource to help ourselves and other people of faith better see, share and connect to the practices and stories that we are already living that create love, life and hope in a hurting world.
Chicagoland Trauma Informed Congregations Network
We convene a multifaith learning network of people and organizations to use our collective wisdom to respond to facilitate and deepen the role of faith communities in recognizing and creating “safe and brave spaces” that support the healing of trauma experienced by individuals and communities.
Courage to Love: Thriving Moms and Babies
We work to improve the health and well-being of women, childbearing persons, and babies by building positive, loving connection among individuals and in the social structures that support our communities. We partner with BECOME to support a Mom’s Mentor Network and developed a curriculum for Community Health Workers that draws on the power of relationships to protect parenting persons and their babies.
LAMP (Love Asset Mapping and Planning)
LAMP is a series of interactive workshops in which community members, religious leaders and service providers share their experiences of where they see beauty and love at work in their congregations and communities and craft a common vision for taking action to help it grow. Learn more about LAMP.
