“As a single footstep will not make a path on the Earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives”.
In non-traumatized industrialized countries, the impact of mental illness in the labor force is well documented as measured by job performance and productivity. Preliminary evidence suggests that there are significant economic costs due to unaddressed trauma within the work force affecting the following areas:
non-profit corporation whose primary focus is to improve the emotional and spiritual health of people that suffer in the world community to implement leadership and counseling initiatives that work with local governments, educational systems, businesses and churches.
scientific, cultural approach and methodology to lessen suffering, reduce disability and to increase resiliency for survivors of trauma throughout the world
This training incorporates cognitive and attachmenttheory with faith. “Cognitive” means thought process as well as “knowledge” or “perception”. “Attachment” theory describes and explains enduring patterns of relationships from birth to death.
Transformational Life Project teaches participants toidentify their thoughts, moods, behaviors, physicalreactions, spiritual significance and relational implications.
Our life is full of brokenness-broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations. How can we live with brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God’s faithful presence in our lives.
As caregivers remain unavailable or hurtful, our fears or injuries can pollute our soul (mind, will and emotions). This can cause one to form absolute statements about relationships.
The caregiver or loved one is simply not available (physically or emotionally), due to their own emotional distress or discomfort with closeness.
The caregiver is willing to be available, but is not able to be there. (i.e., in the hospital or incapacitated)
The caregiver desires to be available and normally would be there, but is absent at a crucial developmental phase or during a time of crisis (i.e., military or work).
The parent or loved one is there, but instead of providing a safe haven, they use insensitive, embarrassing or sarcastic language towards the child or adult.
The caregiver is there, but smothers and overdoes safety and protection. This doesn’t allow the child or loved one the freedom to explore the world and gain confidence in mastering life’s skills.

Core Beliefs Program Shapes Attitudes about Money
“As part of its HomeBuy5 financial education program, Virginia SupportiveHousing (VSH) augments FDIC’s Money Smart curriculum with a novel training program on attitudes about money. VSH incorporated the Core Beliefs training into HomeBuy5 in 2004, after it became clear that financial literacy and even one-on-one counseling sessions were not sufficient for clients to meet their personal and financial goals. The program identifies deep-seeded beliefs about money that act as barriers to financial stability. According to Salathia Johnson, the program’s director, “We added Core Beliefs after we noticed a pattern of clients sabotaging themselves just as their goal was in sight in the last year.” Clients include low-wage earners, families with young children and individuals or families living in shelters or transitional housing or are at risk of becoming homeless.”

Core Beliefs Program Shapes Attitudes about Money
“Core Beliefs helps clients adopt new beliefs and behaviors to rebuild credit, balance their monthly budgets, eliminate outstanding debt and accumulate savings. Clients examine past choices that did not serve their best financial interests even when they had sufficient information to understand the long-term consequences. Some Core Beliefs clients are also eligible for their savings accumulated during the training period to be matched at a rate of $2 to $1 for the first $2,000 saved. The curriculum requires clients to commit to five years of training and savings toward the purchase of a home. Since adding the Core Beliefs component, most clients are now able to reach their financial goals within three years of starting HomeBuy5, rather than five.”
