We’re Curious
“In it with you.” These words are much more than a catch-phrase for us--we mean them. As a trauma-exposed organization ourselves, we have experienced first-hand some of the victories and challenges that run parallel to protecting, aiding, and offering relief to others. However, we also know that every front-line experience is as unique as a fingerprint. As such, Gap Relief doesn’t have a simple “one size fits all” strategy, but instead builds each experience alongside the individuals or organizations we serve. Our commitment to curiosity and “staying with” allows us to build a unique and targeted plan that is specific to your needs and that meets you right where you are.
Prior to and throughout the development of your Gap Relief experience, your Gap Relief consultants will collaborate with you and/or your team/organization to ensure the identification of specific needs and the development of targeted responses to those needs. In addition, your Gap Relief team has experience working in a variety of international contexts. When working with international people groups, Gap Relief is intentional to create care plans that are not only specific and targeted, but that includes cultural consultation and are culturally informed.
We’re Comprehensive
We, humans, are complex. As such, the pain, stress, and trauma we engage is complex too. Our desire is that our services are not only personalized and targeted to our partners’ specific needs but that they are holistic and comprehensive- engaging every part of an individual or organization. Gap Relief builds experiences that engage mind, heart, body, and soul- fostering wholeness and increased personal and organizational grit and resiliency.
We’re With You
Side by side. With. Those who have engaged with Gap Relief, for any period of time, have heard these words, “we believe we are better together”. Another critical facet to our approach is our commitment to “never going to battle alone.” This means that with the exception of our individual counseling/consulting services, our Gap Relief team develops and provides all of our experiences collaboratively. As such, you will always have two or more Gap Relief professionals working alongside you or your team, ensuring the highest level of care and the greatest execution of services.
We Stay
Following the implementation of new training or retreat, many leaders often report feelings of hope and relief. However, they oftentimes also report feeling overwhelmed with how to continue integrating what they have experienced into their daily lives and organizations. Most often, there are little to no opportunities for follow-up care, conversations, or integration of what has been experienced despite research indicating that continued support while implementing new experiences may drastically increase the long-term impact of these experiences. As part of our comprehensive approach, Gap Relief builds follow-up recommendations and options into every personalized plan. We desire to continue walking with you.
We Experience
We know that one of the ways we learn and grow stronger is through experiences. We want to do more than hand things to your brain like knowledge and information. We want to help rewrite places of hurt and trauma. Our mission is to help create spaces and practices that gift you understanding, wisdom, and insight. It is these experiences that help you reclaim your story so that you are able to reflect and live the person you were meant to be.
