Traumaresponsivechurch

Put your energy into solutions, not problems.

Trauma remains in place because families, communities, organizations and cultures lack the insight and skill needed to restore lives. Reclaim Life gives you the tools and training you need to experience and begin replicating lay person-led trauma healing programs with lasting impact.

Meet TRCA Co-Founder Dr. Carmen Morrison

"Existing trauma-oriented resources for the developing world focus on either crisis intervention or "trauma-lite", failing to go deep enough or comprehensive enough to sustain or multiply impact. I designed Reclaim Life's programs to close that gap."

Carmen Morrison, PhD

Since 2017, Dr. Morrison has developed and piloted lay person-led programs together with her husband and the staff and volunteers of Reclaim Life.

"I didn't set out to reinvent the wheel," Dr. Morrison explains. "Drawing from my 26 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and church leader, I combined the best resources I used professionally and tailored them to reach and be led by ordinary, non-professional people with a lot of passion to transform their communities." To date, over 1,400 people have participated in Reclaim Life's programs and workshops in Mexico, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Spain, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Africa. 92 people have been trained to lead their own groups and 25 have graduated as lay Christian counselors serving in 4 countries.
