Trauma • Attachment • Faith
Equipping faith organisations and their teams to become trauma informed
WELCOME TO
Join the Dots
Our vision is to enable local churches, youth ministries, schools’ teams and charities who serve people in need, to be more accessible to those whose lives have been impacted by trauma.
We help people to make those all-important connections between adverse (childhood) experiences, mental health, physical behaviours, engagement in relationships and their spiritual journey.
We equip faith groups to create safe spaces where families, and individuals of all ages, who have experienced adversity can develop a secure identity in Christ.
We support faith organisations to work with other local agencies so that families grow to become securely connected preventing trauma in the future.
We do this by providing a range of training and consultancy services.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Organisational Consultations
We offer individualised consultations for workers in churches and NGOs who would like to explore ways to create a more supportive environment and culture in their physical setting. This may be in the form of a checklist and conversation or an on-site visit, with a full audit of facilities, processes and policies.
