Spiritual First Aid Workshop

Spiritual First Aid is an innovative peer support training tool that enables Christian helpers, churches, and organizations to turn their compassion into effective care for everything from mild stress to mass trauma.

It provides a Biblically-informed, evidence-informed, and trauma-informed framework to give you actionable steps to care for others in your day-to-day life and ministry.

Northwoods Retreat is hosting an in-person workshop to make this training accessible and tangible to nearby families, churches, and communities.
