Trainings

Narrative Focused Trauma Care (NFTC) brings together the strengths of both theology and psychology, embracing the whole person—mind, body, and soul—in a uniquely comprehensive approach to healing from trauma.

Through progressive levels of training, you will gain foundational knowledge and practical skills in Narrative Focused Trauma Care and experiential personal story work, fostering a deeper understanding and application of this transformative approach that will greatly benefit your own healing journey as well as any work you do with others in your own professional, clinical or ministry context.

Expanding on the foundational competencies and story engagement techniques learned in Level I, you will further cultivate your own unique style of story work facilitation through targeted teaching, experiential learning, and personalized feedback and coaching.

Narrative Focused Trauma Care Level III

This advanced training is designed to foster expertise in story engagement and small group facilitation, with hands-on resources to run Narrative Focused Trauma Care Story Groups in your own context.
