Tending the Roots for Faith Leaders
Houghton University is hosting Tending the Roots for Faithful Leaders from 9am-4pm Tuesday, February 24. For further information call 585-808-7023.
Ardent Solutions is excited to invite local faith leaders to the Reinhold Campus Center at Houghton University on February 24, 2026, for Tending the Roots, and introductory training on trauma and resilience. The training is scheduled from 9-4 and lunch will be provided. The Tending the Roots training helps people and organizations understand toxic stress, trauma, and how they can affect everyone. This class also talks about how racism, parts of our environment (like our neighborhoods and schools), and tough experiences are connected, and how things like fairness and justice affect our health. We’ll also learn about things that can help you and others bounce back from hard experiences. By the end of the program, we want everyone to have the knowledge and tools to create safe and supportive spaces for themselves and others to build a healthier and fairer world. Learning Modules: 1. Introduction to Trauma and Toxic Stress 2. Trauma…. The Mind and the Body 3. Wellness, Resilience, and Healing 4. Trauma-Informed Approaches 5. Compassion and Resilience 6. Adopting the Practice
