Post-Disaster Mental Health Team
A Post-Disaster Mental Health Team is an additional resource available to those we serve. Made up of an interdisciplinary team of trained professionals, it was created to offer a more immediate response to traumatic events. “Post-disaster” is defined as at least 72 hours after a disaster, when there is some stabilization but up to one year after the crisis event. This team can provide emotional support, psychoeducation on trauma, and connections to local resources.
Adventist Recovery Ministries
The mission of Adventist Recovery Ministries is to share hope, wholeness, and freedom from addictions, trauma, and hurtful habits through the healing power of Christ. To provide training and support for churches and individuals who wish to help those who are seeking freedom from harmful thoughts, habits, and addictions. We wish for all congregations and communities to be a safe place for anyone to come in order to find victory through Jesus Christ.
Journey to Wholeness (JTW) offers a Facilitator program, that can empower individuals with the skills, understanding, and compassion needed to help individuals who are walking the path to freedom from addictions. Whatever your current level of understanding about addictions, we welcome you to join this group by taking both the online and in-person trainings. Developing a Facilitator Network in order to provide peer support for those who are actively engaged as JTW Facilitators, or who are preparing to start a JTW Recovery Group. This network could very well be the key to the success of your ministry.

Training pastors and church leadership in faith-based trauma-informed practices helps them in responding to the needs of the congregation and community by integrating this knowledge into the planning of ministries, policies, and stewardship of the church's resources.
May the God of hope fill you...as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope...
