Trauma Healing Basics are simple, practical tools that anyone can use to learn about and respond to trauma. Developed by the team at Trauma Healing Institute, these free resources combine mental-health best practices with the wisdom of the Bible.

We created Trauma Healing Basics to work for anyone — they are “basics” by design, so you don’t need any training or special knowledge to use them. If you are suffering the pain of trauma yourself, these resources can help you find healing. And if you feel called to help others cope with their deepest pain, these resources can help you do that. All Basics resources are free to use, share, and adapt.

This unique approach to healing the pain of trauma has proven safe and effective in our work in over 100 countries in 20 years of ministry.

Trauma is a complex topic that can be difficult to wrap our heads around. This short video gives a simple explanation of trauma and its effects on people.
