Violence Free Faith
Everyone deserves to live a life free from violence and abuse. This includes being safe from religious abuse and safe in local faith communities, wider spiritual traditions, and religious organizations.
Violence Free Faith is the premier program of Santolina Consulting. It brings together years of education, work and volunteer experiences, and the founder’s deepest passion that faith can be free from violence.
Who We Work With
Faith Communities
Individual or local communities from any tradition or practice.
Religious Organizations
Larger networks of local communities, usually organized in associations, diocese, networks, state/regional groupings from any tradition or practice.
Social Service Organizations
Direct service providers supporting survivors of violence/abuse who identify as people of faith or who have experience religious abuse/trauma and providers looking for new ways to connect with local faith communities.
What We Do
Training
We tailor training to your organization’s knowledge level. Topics can be foundational like “What Is Violence?” and “Engaging Local Faith Communities” to more advance topics like divorce, mandatory reporting, and perpetrator accountability.
Consulting
If you are looking for support around creating policy and procedure or implementing support or outreach programs, we offer consulting to create roadmaps and implementation strategies.
Coaching
Do you have groups or programs that are interested in learning how to be better allies to survivors of abuse and violence? We can coach groups on how to recognize and response and even discuss curriculum and material that can expand the group’s support of survivors.
