Trauma and Crisis Care

What will you do when a traumatized child is sitting in front of you? This class will give you tools to make a difference in the lives of victims of injustice. You will receive practical guidance to serve those whose lives have been shattered by trauma. You will learn how to recognize and minister to traumatized children through the following classes.

  • Understanding Trauma in Children

  • The Cycle of Violence and Intervention Planning

  • Trauma and Loss, Children and Grief

  • Children’s Emotional Health in Trauma

  • Trauma’s Impact on Behavior

  • Attachment and Bonding

  • Setting Boundaries

Biblical Justice

Doing justice sounds good, but what does God say? Each week will dig deep, through a teaching on the biblical foundation for justice and God’s heart for the broken.

Worship and Intercession

This is a time of taking these issues to God, on behalf of the victims, and for ourselves as we are affected by what we learn. We expect that this course may bring up unresolved issues from the past for some students, as well as grief, anger, and other emotions as we learn of the world’s atrocities.



Outreach Opportunities

We are firm believers that if you are not good at loving your neighbor next door, you will not be good at loving a neighbor in the third world. We’ll start by loving the kids right here in Boise before our official “practicum” overseas. Our local outreach includes ministry with children of addicts, foster care, human trafficking in America, refugees, and more.

Students will serve at least 10 hours in a ministry to people in crisis locally and then have the opportunity to go international.

International Outreach (Optional)

Students will use the skills they have learned in the classroom to meet the emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of women and children in crisis, both at home and around the world. After completing the core classes, students can join us for an optional international practicum in a third world setting, getting their hands dirty and hearts changed while working alongside ministries that are responding directly to the vulnerable. Students who cannot participate internationally will participate in local outreach.
