Traumatised people can often be hyper vigilant and so are also very impacted by the atmosphere of a home or other setting. They pick up on non-verbal atmospheres quite naturally and intuitively and can feel anxious when others are anxious, even when everyone is smiling!

So it’s important that we recognise that we can create atmospheres that are warm, caring and safe❤️

We are devastated about what has happened at Big Church Festival and have been supporting people before posting. Sorry to be late to post this.
The book, ‘The Simple Guide to Collective Trauma’ by Betsy de Thierry may be helpful in this time. It costs around the price of two coffees and is used as a practical guide to understanding trauma symptoms, how to help people process and make sense of the feelings and reactions they may be experiencing and it was written by Betsy who is also a senior pastor of a church. You can get it on amazon or online bookshops.
We are here to help if you are a leader of a group or church and are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. We have free resources on our website site and we can recommend YouTube films that are also free that can help you make sense of how to help others safely.

We are praying for everyone impacted including the family and church of the pastor Robert Guano who lost his life.
Jesus please bring your peace, help us acknowledge the big feelings we are holding and feeling, help us navigate our reactions and help us to walk this path in a way that acknowledges we trust you even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death- for we will fear no evil and your rod and staff will comfort me.

Psalm 23 can be helpful to mediate on in days like this.
Jesus bless you all x

When we know that someone has been traumatised then we can make some extra preparation to enable them to feel safe.

As children prepare to go back to school over the next couple weeks maybe that is finding out their favourite toy, a nice smell, a soft blanket - what sort of things do you do to help the children in your world feel safe?

This October a new cohort for the Trauma Informed Churches Certificate is starting!

This course exists to help people who are serving in churches or Christian organisations learn about the impact of trauma and how we can facilitate recovery. It explores the foundational teaching on trauma which is from neuroscience, evidenced based research and the Bible. The training explores practical implications and strategies to support those who are traumatised.

Society is starving relationally and losing the art of using creative practices with trauma informed skill. So we have redesigned the TIC course for 2026-27 to be a blend of in person, creative, relational, experiential time together, and some modules being delivered online on zoom. We know this will strengthen the training content and will be worth the travel.

Traumatised people can struggle to accept love and care when they have been hurt by another person. But as you try and work out how to care for them by asking those who are in their world and asking them, they will be grateful even if they don’t look like they are. We often hear from adults who remember people in their past who they may not have been grateful to at the time but now realise that their kindness gave them hope for their future.

It’s so important that we recognise that children and young people can have huge, strong emotions such as terror, anger, sadness, disappointment, and frustration that they carry around and they need someone to help them validate and understand, and then help them process them.

The Power of Prayer🔥

It's important that we always intentionally speak well and confidently about a person’s skills and gifts and make sure they hear. Speak to them, and speak about them when they may well be listening!

We need to be the hope carriers for a lot of families as they endure such tough things that drain them of emotional energy.
