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.
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.
We are the only charity in the UK offering multi-faith support to people who have been harmed in spiritual settings.
Your donation will make a huge difference to what we are able to achieve, as we seek to support people who have been harmed and help faith organisations become safe places for everyone.

We discuss best practice for supporting survivors, and seek creative solutions to problems caused by spiritual abuse.
