Creating Trauma-Informed Small Groups - Robert Crosby and Kayla Smith - Media # 24203

Many hurting kids have no safe place to talk about their lives, share feelings, or receive prayer and encouragement. A weekly small group can change a child’s life by meeting these critical needs. In this session, you will distinguish the features and benefits of a trauma-informed small group, diagram a five-point strategy for leading a life-changing small group, and demonstrate a brief check-in routine that fosters intimacy, healing, and growth within a community of faith.
