About ICTG 

We provide training, coaching, and therapeutic services for congregation, ministry, and community leaders. We help leaders to address long-term emotional and spiritual care needs, build trauma-informed programs and ministries, and partner across professional sectors for whole community care.

We see a day when leaders are equipped
with useful tools, information, and relational networks needed to respond to the impacts of trauma in their congregations and communities.
