No one was truly prepared for the physical devastation that Hurricane Helene would bring to our area. As we continue to clean up and begin to rebuild, we know the physical things are only one part of the restoration that needs to take place. The last several weeks have been scary, heavy, overwhelming, daunting, and so much more for everyone. Everybody has been affected by this storm in some way and we want to begin to help those who are still struggling to begin to process and cope with the trauma they have faced.

Lake Hills Church is honored to be able to host “Beyond Disaster,” a trauma care training for spiritual first aid. Beyond disaster is a training created by Water Mission, an organization that has brought some incredible help to our community since the disaster through water filtration and so much more. They have been working in every corner of our towns, and we are so grateful for their partnership in WNC!

The Beyond disaster training will be useful for two reasons. First, this training will help people personally begin to process through feelings and grief that have come up since the hurricane. In addition, this training will equip those who are looking to help others that are working through hard emotions.

Beyond Disaster offers practical resources based on Christian principles to share with anyone that could use help with working through their experiences and feelings from the last several weeks. From this training people can begin to share the resources with others and begin to talk through the topics covered together in small groups.

• Those personally affected
• Teachers
• Parents and Caretakers
• Church and Community Leaders
• First Responders
• and more…

In the wake of Helene, the journey to restoration and recovery is long. But we at Lake Hills are committed to standing with our community throughout this tragedy.
