Caring for the Wounded Heart (Zoom)
Every Monday, from 05/11/2026 to 06/15/2026, 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Upcoming online Bible-based healing group.
This one is a cooperative venture between 2 churches: Westview Bible Church and Peoples Church of Montreal. Diane Sollazzo and Sarah Dhanaraj are the facilitators.
If you suffer from sadness, exhaustion, anger, feelings of isolation, or unprocessed grief, whatever the source, this small group may be for you. If you have healed from pain in the past and wish to help others dealing with these kinds of pain, the group may be for you as well.
This group is for Montreal Christians who wish to share and learn together.
Together, we will make a safe space for group members to:
- Discover what the Bible says about suffering
- Learn about trauma and its effects
- Build resilience for the future
- Learn to help others
About the group model
This healing group uses the proven and time-tested model of the Trauma Healing Institute at American Bible Society. Using applied Scripture and best mental health principles.
We are not professional healers, not doctors, psychiatrists or psychologists. We are Christians who care. We do not offer therapy, but we do offer support.
The group uses the book Caring for the Wounded Heart. Different forms of this book are in use in over 100 countries with more than 194 language groups in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. To learn more about the model, the Trauma Healing Institute, and its work in equipping and supporting a global community of workers in trauma care, please visit TraumaHealingInstitute.org.
Purchase of the book is not required for participation. If you wish to purchase it, you can purchase a paperback version from Amazon (paperback) or the Canadian Bible Society in digital format (cheaper) or paperback.
This program is run in conjunction with Trauma Healing Institute of the American and Canadian Bible Societies.
