ColLabs = SMALL GROUP EQUIPPING FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS.

We provide 10-Session group intensives, designed for 3-5 adult leaders. Each session consists of a time of teaching on a theme that is vital to recovery of your heart, followed by a group discussion that will dive deeper into your story. Collabs are a safe space to explore difficult themes, traumas, and addictions in a faith-based environment.

We provide skilled and trained facilitators to come alongside you in order to provide the best experience possible. Our facilitators will shepherd your stories, care for your heart, and maintain consistent trauma-informed care.

FOCUS

We focus on training your organization’s leaders. After experiencing the sessions and receiving certification training, they can then run Collabs in your context at your pace.

SUGGESTED Cost

$1,500 per participant.‍ ‍Sliding scales, discounts, and scholarships are always available.


Collabs meet for 10 sessions (3 hours each). Over the course of these sessions you’ll receive life-changing care. In addition, the experience will be book-ended with training equipping you to run future Collabs in your context, at your pace, and for the sake of your people.

Collabs are intense, but because they happen in community with real people who wil remain involved in your life, they are more meaningful than months (if not years) of 1:1 therapy.

“Healing is not a one and done experience but instead a journey. Healing Villages understands this and helps people swim into the deep water with helpful resources to grow in the knowledge that God’s kindness can and does lead us into deeper relationship with our Creator and our self.”

- David (General Contractor)
