In Ethiopia, traumatic experiences and hurt are prevalent. Even those not impacted directly by such experiences may be secondarily impacted, impacting their hearts and minds. The church and para-church organizations have an opportunity to share the healing that is offered in scripture that aligns with mental health best practices. Using the Trauma Healing model we will work with churches, parachurch ministries and organizations to help them begin their own Trauma Healing Ministries. Trauma Healing Ministries can multiply and create a community-based system of support for pervasive trauma. This tool does not require professional counsellors, but rather equips lay people to address trauma effectively in their spheres of influence.
