Helping the Traumatized Child and Those Who Assist Them

Advocacy for children is an important mission whether your role is to protect, guide or provide therapy for children who have been traumatized.  This workshop will help you understand how traumatic experiences affect children and what caregivers can do to foster the healing process from trauma.  Training will include the topic of when children verbally, physically and/or sexually abuse other children. These children are at high risk to be placed in foster homes and with other children. Their behaviors are manifested through coercion, force, intimidation and secrecy.

A training on Spiritual Warfare.

Learning how Satan operates, and becoming fixated on him, are two very different things.

This conference contains balanced, Biblical perspectives on Satan, the lies (deceptions) he uses to put and keep mankind in bondage, and on the finished work of the Cross of Jesus Christ, the Christian’s defense against and freedom from Satan’s lies.

This workshop is for individuals, couples, parents and those in ministry.
