Are you curious about what it means to be trauma informed and how this healing awareness shapes the way we engage those who suffer? Do you desire that your daily interactions offer healing and hope amidst pain and despair? Join us for a special symposium exploring trauma informed therapeutic encounters through the lens of Christian discipleship and compassionate presence. Led by two internationally recognized experts, this free virtual event on June 15th at 1 pm will offer practical insight, spiritual reflection, and meaningful dialogue for clergy, clinicians, caregivers, ministry leaders, and all who desire to accompany others with wisdom, mercy, and hope.

We welcomed our second cohort of medical interns last week. The interns will be working in the Free Health Center throughout the summer. These students, ranging from a second year medical school student to a first year undergraduate student, fill the need for volunteers at the Free Health Center between fall and spring. They will fulfill various administrative tasks for the clinic, from answering phone calls to organizing patient information. Mostly, these interns are medical interns, but we also welcome a dental intern and a psychology intern this summer.

We are thrilled and thankful to Faith and Leadership for featuring our work after winning the Duke Divinity Traditioned Innovation Award. You can read the full article below. (Or link in bio).
