The Trauma Healing Initiative at McCormick Theological Seminary is launching the Micro-Credential in Community Healing Practices (MCHP) program this Fall.
The MCHP program aims to equip faith leaders and community practitioners with trauma-informed and healing-centered practice. Bringing learners together with faculty from the fields of pastoral care, practical theology, and Bible, along with restorative justice practitioners, trauma specialists, and executive coaches, the program is designed with teaching and learning anchored in:
Restorative Justice (RJ) philosophy and methods that can create, hold, and sustain communities
Knowledge sharing and skill development in practices that nurture resilience and post-traumatic growth in community
Theological reflection on the challenges of trauma, healing, and restoration
Executive coaching to support learners as they introduce and explore trauma-informed and healing-centered practice in their contexts
Applicants with experiences and a wide representation of communal experiences of trauma and commitments to healing are being gathered now for the 2024/24 MCHP cohort. Apply today!
Application Deadline: July 15, 2024 | Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by July 26, 2024
McCormick’s Trauma Healing Initiative is focused on developing a model for creating a trauma-informed, healing -centered culture within theological education institutions. It also aims to deepen relationships with faith communities and community partners to provide them with resources that can help them respond to institutional, historical, collective, and personal trauma among their constituents.
