DISCOVER A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE

Mending the Soul (MTS) equips individuals in an informed and compassionate way who have been impacted by abuse and trauma from abuse. Since abuse comes in many forms such as verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual, spiritual, and is prevalent around the world and in every community, we want to offer a resource to our community.

God made humans in his own image; therefore, healing from abuse involves people helping each other. We are best nurtured and healed in relationship. Mending the Soul provides resources that are best utilized within small groups.

There are 2 types of groups each consisting of 6-8 people.  Men’s groups and women’s groups meet individually and are facilitated by 2 trained MTS laypeople.

-Mending the Soul: Explore is a simpler version of mending the soul’s Trauma Care model using expressive art and meet for 6 - 8 weeks. ~ Please fill out this Application form for our Summer MTS Explore women's group.

-Mending the Soul groups use a curriculum consisting of the book Mending the Soul by Steven Tracy and a companion workbook written by his wife, Celestia Tracy. These groups meet for a minimum of 12 weeks.

Hope City’s next session will begin in the fall. Please fill out this interest form to let us know you would like more information, or visit https://my.hopecitypdx.com/form/mts to find groups in our area.

“Mending the Soul helped me come face to face with past traumatic events I had buried deep inside, and a powerful thing happened. God showed me something I had long been denying: I was worthy of His love.” ---James, Mending the Soul participant
