Weave & Cleave
Creating communities of belonging
The Success of the Movement!
This video premiered at April's Third Annual Weave and Cleave Conference! Our movement's success is a testament to over 50 statewide leaders, 75 faith-based organizations, 150 trainings, and annual conferences drawing 300+ participants and 50+ experts. We also exemplify strong collaboration with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family, creating communities of belonging anchored in unconditional love, trauma-informed care, and cultural transformation.

Hayley Winterberg grew up in a family dynamic that afforded her a 'perfect ACEs score', as she shares tongue-in-cheek. It's this sense of humor that helped Hayley tap into her resilience, and eventually, helped her press into post-traumatic growth. But Hayley also points to protective factors in her childhood, too - a grandfather that took her to church every week, a father that encouraged her to get a solid education, opportunities to get involved in projects that focus on equity and meaningful change. Hayley learned young that people can harm; she also learned young that people can be pretty amazing.
Hayley also learned how to overachieve - a trauma response that has its superpowers and its pitfalls. On the positive side, Hayley's achiever helped her earn two Master's degrees, buy a home as a single mom, build a career that's included healthcare system transformation, policy development, public advocacy, and today, the role of Chief Housing Officer at HOM. On the less positive side, Hayley has had to learn to observe patterns and behaviors that expose her tendency toward workaholism. She shares her personal and professional journey with candor and lightheartedness. We invite you to listen in.

Collaborating with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, TFC launches the “Creating Communities of Belonging” project to support faith communities in building safe spaces and relationships where people experience being connected before being corrected, share struggles in the context of compassionate relationships, and raise hope and resilience for the future journey together.
