We seek to foster safe, accepting and compassionate spaces for reflection and exploration as part of our commitment to journeying authentically with our clients founded on trauma-informed principles and Christian values.

Many people suffer trauma in their lives. Trauma is any event, series of events or environment that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally threatening and overwhelms their ability to cope. A traumatic event provokes overwhelming fear, hopelessness and helplessness, shattering the person’s understanding of the world around them. Trauma can leave a range of mild to debilitating effects on an individual’s day to day functioning, impacting psychological, emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being.

Trauma-informed care considers the wide-spread effects of trauma in individuals and our community and focuses on offering unconditional acceptance, understanding and a felt sense of safety.
