Our Values
1. We value humility by listening to, being changed by, and responding to the voices of survivors.
2. We value integration by providing theologically precise, psychologically informed, culturally sensitive & research-driven resources and training.
3. We value healing by providing free, Christ-centered trauma care through contextualized resources and training for marginalized communities.
4. We value the image of God by embracing the differences across cultures, tribes, and languages, restoring the value and dignity of the oppressed. (Genesis 1:2)
5. Above all things, we value our suffering Savior who, through the cross, brings healing, dignity, and justice to the abused and marginalized.
Curricula
Mending the Soul believes in creating high-quality, creative, and beautiful printed resources. Our unique approach to healing breaks down and defines abuse, giving visibility to its hidden effects by peeling back the layers—restoring wholeness from the inside out.
We carefully listen to the experiences, perceptions, and needs of the abuse survivors we serve, and their voices guide the development of our resources. We also contextualize and translate our healing models to make them relevant to the varying cultures and languages we bring our curricula to globally.
Mending the Soul seeks to make our curricula so complete and well-written, they can be effectively administered by lay people with basic training without compromising quality.
Training
Mending the Soul transforms individuals and organizations by training leaders first, allowing them to experience their own healing before walking others through our various healing models.
We develop high-quality, state-of-the-art online training courses, and provide support resources for MTS small group facilitators. In addition, Mending the Soul provides aftercare and community for group leaders to address and mitigate potential secondary trauma, as well as consistently maintain and improve the quality of our trained leaders.
