Childhood trauma is on the rise, and it’s having a devastating effect on children’s mental health. From 2000 to 2020, suicide attempts by children aged 10 to 14 increased 450%. During COVID-19, childhood anxiety and depression doubled. Globally, 1 out of 5 kids now has severe anxiety, and 1 out of 4 is clinically depressed. There’s no way around it. To be relevant in a broken world, we need to know how to reach hurting kids.
That’s why we created the Reach Hurting Kids Workshop, an engaging, evidence-based curriculum that allows you to teach your own team the principles of trauma-informed children’s ministry. Developed through a generous grant from the Louisville Institute, our curriculum includes everything you need to put on a professional-quality trauma workshop for your staff and volunteers.
