Courageous Christians

HeartMend STAYS™ 
HeartMend STAYS™ as we teach local church members, Courageous Christians, to listen to trauma survivors with empathy, making sure each one feels truly seen and heard. These volunteers receive specialized training to nurture a safe and welcoming environment. These trained listeners strengthen the resilience of those impacted by trauma as they walk beside them toward healing. Courageous Christians will stay alongside trauma survivors even if their need for healing includes referral to professional services.

A HeartMend™ Church

HeartMend STAYS™
HeartMend STAYS™ when a local congregation accepts our invitation to begin a transformative journey toward becoming a HeartMend™ Church.
Reach out to us to begin your introduction to HeartMend™, where we’ll explore the pathways for creating a trauma-healing ministry within your congregation. Together, we’ll walk through a prayerful process of discernment and commitment, helping your church identify and train members who feel called to serve trauma survivors.

Through this journey, your congregation will cultivate a lasting trauma-healing presence - one that remains, grows, and extends hope to the communities you serve.

HeartMend™ Training and Certification

HeartMend STAYS™
HeartMend STAYS™ through our HeartMend™ Training and Certification which gives Courageous Christians the tools to listen with compassion and create safe places for trauma survivors to share their stories. This begins with an Introduction to HeartMend™ Trauma Ministries.
Training consists of a prescribed number of hours. Three levels of training are offered: Courageous Christian, Lead Facilitator, and Master Trainer. As a HeartMend™ Church, you will affirm the Courageous Christians who are called to trauma ministry, pray for the ministry, develop trauma healing groups, and develop a local community network when referrals for professional therapeutic services are warranted. And HeartMend™ will continue to provide ongoing support, encouragement, and resources.
