Become Trauma-Informed

We want to help churches become trauma-informed communities of faith. In times of crisis, studies show the first place to which many turn is their local or faith-based community resource.

Current and past trauma are at the root of most problems hindering spiritual, emotional, mental and even physical growth and health.

Oftentimes churches want to provide ethical and safe care for individuals and families but lack the training and resources to provide these services. These are real obstacles.

Our heart is to train, develop and deploy servant leaders who share your organization’s culture and values to love and care for people.

We believe there are many people who genuinely have a desire to grow, as well as to serve others; however, they desire to be adequately trained and supported

BDA can offer this support and training, along with a proven operating and developmental framework for creating a trauma-informed culture of hope and healing.
