The Core Model
The EMPOWER Trauma Rehabilitation Program
Used in every community we serve, the EMPOWER Trauma Rehabilitation Program is a culturally sensitive, cognitive-based therapeutic model specifically designed for individuals affected by war and conflict. This program provides a structured path toward healing, helping survivors process the unseen wounds of trauma and reclaim their mental well-being.
Developed in partnership with Dr. Robi Sonderegger and the Family Challenge Charitable Trust, with key contributions from I Live Again Uganda founder Benson Ocen, the model is built on years of intensive clinical intervention and global research. Today, the EMPOWER program continues to be a life-changing resource for war-torn regions around the world, restoring hope and dignity through evidence-based care.
1. Christ-Centered & Evidence-Informed
Our approach combines biblical principles with clinically validated trauma recovery methods, ensuring spiritual depth and professional excellence.
2. Whole-Person Healing
We focus on renewing the mind, emotions, and behavior, addressing the internal wounds that war and conflict leave behind.
3. Practical, Action-Based Learning
Through individual facilitation and active group participation, our model moves beyond theory into practical, lived restoration.
4. Built for Trauma & Resilience
Designed specifically for conflict zones, EMPOWER equips survivors with the psychological tools to build lasting resilience.
5. Creating Lasting Change
Our ultimate goal is true transformation that restores dignity and allows survivors to lead peaceful, productive lives.
