OUR MISSION

Faith and Compassion in Crisis Response for At-Risk Youth

At Lizzie's Recovery House, we equip first responders with transformative tools that integrate faith, DBT skills, and trauma-informed care. Our Christos Archetype framework helps you understand spiritual language in crisis situations, allowing you to support at-risk youth with dignity and compassion. We bridge the gap between clinical approaches and faith-based understanding to create meaningful connections during moments of vulnerability.

Our approach empowers responders to:

  • Reduce harm with compassionate communication that honors spiritual experiences
  • Recognize and respond to trauma expressions through spiritual language
  • Implement practical DBT skills within a faith-integrated framework for effective crisis de-escalation

Faith-Integrated Crisis Response

The Christos Archetype Model

A transformative framework for first responders, crisis workers, and peer support specialists supporting individuals experiencing spiritual distress and trauma.

Awakening Inner Strength Through Crisis

The Christos Archetype is not about religious conversion but a healing-centered framework for understanding spiritual distress. This model helps responders recognize when individuals describe "God talking to me" or "battling darkness" as expressions of trauma, overwhelm, or transformation. Learn to validate their spiritual journey while supporting regulation and safety.
