The Mending Peace Model
three-step approach

Healing Centered Trauma care and counseling
Art and Solutions-Focused

• TMP will adopt a curriculum based off of Healing Children's Wounds of Trauma. This curriculum is an interactive, story-centered, field-tested model of Bible-based trauma healing that provides vital mental health information for children in a biblical framework. 
• TMP also implements trauma healing through the arts.  

Empowerment

• A healing-centered approach to empowering those who have experienced trauma-views trauma not simply as an individual isolated experience, but rather highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively. 
• Through this approach, TMP's goal is to empower our beneficiaries to be healthy and whole leaders that will wage peace on their community.  

Peacebuilding and Conflict Resolution
The Young Peacemaker
This curriculum by Corlette Sande teaches peace-building skills by empowering children and youth to understand and respond to conflict Biblically.  Each section: Understanding, Responding, and Preventing Conflict, has its goal and objectives. The lessons end with scripture memorization and the use of drama and dance. Included in this amazing curriculum are reproducible student activity sheets for all twelve lessons.
