The Trauma-Informed Church

We're Here for What's Ahead

At WinShape Homes, we partner with local churches to bring healing and restoration to children and families through the gospel. One of the ways we do this is by helping church leaders and their communities become trauma-informed.

This resource is designed to help churches who are new to the concept and conversation.

Becoming trauma-informed is a journey, and we hope these tools can be used as a catalyst to start that journey in your own community.
