ParentFuel for Church Leaders: Strengthening Families, Building Communities
 

​Equip Your Church: Become an Accredited ParentFuel Trainer

 

Imagine your church becoming a hub of healing and transformation, delivering powerful parenting courses right in your community. ParentFuel offers an accredited training programme to empower your team to do just that.

​​

Families are carrying more than they can hold. Stress, trauma, broken cycles, and unanswered questions about faith.

​

The ParentFuel Church Facilitator Training equips churches to respond with two proven, accessible courses that meet people where they are and support lasting transformation.

​

This 2-day training enables church leaders to confidently deliver Root & Rise and Freedom Fuel within their church or community.​

What This Training Is

A practical, in-depth 2-day training course for church leaders to learn how to deliver:

• Root & Rise — a 6-week, trauma-informed parenting and healing course

• Freedom Fuel — a 4-week course exploring freedom, forgiveness and faith

Leaders leave fully equipped to run both courses using ParentFuel’s ready-to-use materials.

 

Root & Rise (6 Weeks)

Root & Rise is an evidence-based, trauma-informed course designed to help parents and carers recognise and break cycles of generational trauma.​

It has been built with and for communities experiencing the highest levels of deprivation, ensuring it is genuinely accessible, dignified and effective.

What Makes Root & Rise Different

• Evidence-based and trauma-informed

• Community-built, not imposed

• Designed for real life, not ideal circumstances

• Accessible to all — materials require little or no literacy

• Safe, practical and relational

What Participants Explore

• How trauma and stress are passed through generations

• The Power of Play

• How the nervous system responds to threat and overwhelm

• Practical tools to regulate, connect and respond differently

• How to build new patterns that last

Root & Rise is not therapy. It is a structured, supportive course that helps people understand themselves, their children and their stories with compassion and clarity.

​

Freedom Fuel (4 Weeks)

Freedom Fuel is a 4-week course that explores freedom and forgiveness through both science and theology, offering a grounded and accessible introduction to the Christian faith.

It is designed for people who may be:

• Curious about Jesus

• Returning to faith

• Exploring forgiveness for the first time

• Carrying long-held pain, resentment or shame

What Freedom Fuel Covers

• Who Jesus is historically, prophetically and personally

• What forgiveness really is and what it isn’t

• How unforgiveness affects the body, mind and spirit

• The scientific impact of forgiveness on health and well-being

• The theological foundation for forgiveness in the Christian faith

• Practical steps toward freedom and healing

Freedom Fuel creates space for honest exploration without pressure, while clearly presenting the hope found in Christ.

​
