The Global Community of Practice Gathering provides an opportunity for professionals and practitioners in biblical trauma care to join hands in order to increase their effectiveness. This year’s COP Gathering will focus on the theme of trauma and healing in the family. You will hear from a wide range of global speakers about the family's vulnerability to trauma as well as family restoration, with sessions focusing on abuse in the home, trauma and healing in military families, and Trauma Healing for at-risk teenagers. The program also will include THI updates, Trauma Healing testimonies from around the world, and specialized tracks for newcomers, Trauma Healing facilitators, and organizational leaders.
