ADVANCED PROGRAM​
The Advanced Certificate in Formational Care is an opportunity for wounded healers to continue to develop their skills for journeying with others.
​
Teachings include discussions around developmental trauma and its impact on adult relationships and spirituality, the neurobiological effects of trauma, building and teaching healthy boundaries, creating a Formational Care ministry in your own church or vocation, and more -- all in the context of connection with the Holy Spirit and positioning others for transformation through healing encounters with Jesus Christ.
​
The opportunities provided through the Practicum experience go beyond practicing Formational Care with a peer, and involve using the Healing Care model in real-world settings while under the supervision of seasoned Caregivers.
​
Being on your own journey is a constant theme in Healing Care Ministries, and this program continues to encourage its participants to do just that. The Advanced Certificate in Formational Care is an invitation to step more fully into your own story in light of God's story.
