2024 Conference!

Our 2nd annual Conference for Weave and Cleave “Creating Communities of Belonging” was a success! It was a time of learning, connection, and joy!

Arizona Governor’s Trauma Awareness
Month Proclamation!

We announced the proclamation at our 2024 Weave and Cleave “Creating Communities of Belonging” Conference.

Listen to our latest podcast!

The Faithful City has renewed its trauma-informed care movement with a new phrase “Weave and Cleave,” creating communities of trauma-transformed co-journeyers,  that allow us to overcome the effects of trauma and live resilient lives of hope, love and service to others.

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.
