About Us
Trauma Ministry provides training for Churches wanting to develop a ministry to the significant number of survivors of trauma, abuse, and neglect in their pews and in the communities they serve.
Pastor, chaplain, educator, trainer, strategist, Dr. Izard brings to Trauma Ministry a passion for making a difference in people’s lives. No stranger to trauma personally or professionally, he brings a fresh synthesis of knowledge and skills to the challenge facing the Church today in “binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming freedom to the captives, and releasing from darkness the oppressed.”
Dr. Izard is authorized through The Trauma Healing Institute of the American Bible Society to provide Trauma Healing Groups. Using Scriptures, prayer and a Christian context, the groups guide participants through a variety of modules and steps toward healing. This is a research-based, proven international program.
He is the author of “Teaching Children from Poverty and Trauma,” published by the National Education Association at www.nea.org, 2016.
