About Us

A Note from Our Founder, Lynne McKenzie:
All around us we see evidence that the brokenness of this world is contributing to various kinds of human suffering. Statistics reveal that there is a critical need to offer quality care to those impacted by the harmful effects of trauma or abuse, those events that wound us both internally and externally (Ps 31:9-10).

All people experience pain, loss, and grief throughout their lifetime. We all experience small “t” forms of trauma or crisis situations that cause distress and disruptions in our lives. Although studies vary, a segment of the population, around 70% of all adults, will experience a serious traumatic event (large “T” trauma) in their lifetime (Sidran Institute, 2018). 20% of this group, it is thought, will have lingering symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Some people will even experience multiple traumatic events or chronic traumatic environments that increase the severity of the impact which can make recovery more complex. While the responses that people have to these events varies, trauma has lasting adverse effects that impact many areas of a person’s life (work, relationships, emotions, thinking, spirituality, physical health). From a Christian perspective, we believe that God’s truth, God’s people, and the work of the Holy Spirit play a significant role in our process of renewal and transformation (Ps 19:7; Jn 14:16-17; Gal 6:2).
