Our specialist training

For faith organisations

We offer a number of training courses to help your faith organisation understand what spiritual abuse is, the impact it can have, and how to respond well to those who have experienced it.

All of our training courses focus on what it means to build healthy faith cultures where spiritual abuse is prevented, recognised, and responded to appropriately.

For statutory services

Our course, ‘The implications of spiritual abuse for practice’, will equip your workforce to recognise and respond appropriately to spiritual abuse.

This course is evidence-based and practical, and examines how spiritual abuse intersects with other forms of abuse in safeguarding contexts.

Make a difference. Donate today.

We are the only charity in the UK offering multi-faith support to people who have been harmed in spiritual settings.
