Help Us Empower Trauma Victims Through Faith-Based Healing
Trauma healing can change communities
The Bay Area faces immense challenges when it comes to trauma experienced by its residents. Studies have found high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), food insecurity, and homelessness among the residents.
- Around 6.5% of San Francisco residents have been diagnosed with PTSD, much higher than the national average of 3.5%
- More than half (61.7%) of California residents have experienced at least one type of childhood trauma
- More than 10% of Bay Area residents experience food insecurity on a daily basis
- On any given night, over 35,000 individuals in the Bay Area are experiencing homelessness
Trauma healing equips urban church leaders with basic mental health & Biblical principles
When you partner with World Impact, you ensure urban leaders can help others heal from trauma and hear the good news. When this happens, their churches are healthier, and individuals, families, and neighborhoods can flourish through their local ministry.
