REBOOT Recovery is a trauma healing ministry that provides a small group specialized curriculum for military personnel, first responders, and individuals with unaddressed trauma. It serves individuals in multiple locations across the nation and internationally. REBOOT Recovery’s vision is to become the largest peer-led response to suicide and trauma ever seen through our 12-week, faith-based, and peer-led trauma healing groups. Our courses are not just support groups—they are structured journeys towards healing. The standardized curriculum guides participants through important topics of guilt, shame, betrayal, grief, decision-making, and building a safe support system.
Lane County is currently home to 3 REBOOT locations. Each location is led by a small team of volunteer leaders who are the primary evangelists and disciple makers in their group. Each leader goes through our established Leadership Academy prior to facilitating any courses, which includes outreach, evangelism, group facilitation, and discipleship. Every leader must be actively involved in a local, Bible-believing church. Our leaders utilize components of the 5 Finger Method, the Romans Road, The Four Spiritual Laws, The Bridge to Life, and personal testimony to share the gospel and lead people to Christ. Our discipleship process continues by teaching participants how to spend time with the Lord daily and deepen their lifelong relationship with Him. Besides this, we offer a “Phase 2” course for those who have completed our basic courses called “REBOOT Advance” which focuses on how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ in the context of trauma healing. In addition to the dedication of our leaders, a noteworthy statistic is that 42% of program graduates express a desire to become volunteers within our movement. Just as the early church reached out to the lost, REBOOT empowers every graduate to share the love of Jesus with others on their journey to healing from mental health challenges.
The Brighter Days Giving grant will enable us to expand our reach by adding 3 additional new course locations in Lane County, with a focus on rural, underserved populations. It will provide funding to train 12 new volunteer peer-leaders, trained to serve in their own communities, bringing ~195 additional individuals through the 12 week REBOOT trauma healing course, annually.
