Project Description

Albania TBRI Project

Albania

The Albania TBRI Project integrates trauma-informed care and the gospel to bring hope, healing, and restoration to children, teens, families, and ministry leaders. This 10–12 day mission initiative partners with existing ministries to equip them with Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) tools—helping create safe, connected environments that foster emotional regulation, learning, and spiritual growth, and that help address the adverse experiences many children have faced.

Key Ministry Focus Areas:

  • Serving Vulnerable Children: Partnering with a local Literacy and Bible Program to incorporate TBRI and trauma-informed practices that foster safety, connection, and emotional regulation while supporting literacy and sharing the hope of the Gospel.
  • Mentoring Pre-Teen & Teen Girls: Leading classes and providing mentorship focused on mental health, emotional well-being, identity, and faith, helping girls build resilience and discover their worth and identity in Christ.
  • Supporting Women in Ministry: Hosting a Day Retreat that creates space for women serving cross-culturally to rest, connect, and receive practical mental health and faith-based tools for emotional and spiritual well-being.
  • Strengthening Families Through Faith: Organizing mother-daughter gatherings and Christmas celebrations for the girls, vulnerable children, and their families, creating opportunities to connect, nurture faith, and share the true meaning and hope of Christmas.

Through these efforts, the project seeks to support people holistically by addressing emotional, relational, and spiritual needs while equipping local leaders and reflecting the love of Jesus in every relationship and community served.
