A trusted map for people finding their way back.
When someone is ready to heal, the search for help can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? Who is safe? Who actually understands trauma? Who holds both faith and care without weaponizing either?
"The Library exists so that no one has to search alone for the people and resources that will actually help them heal."
The Restoration Library is a curated directory and resource hub built within Restoration Resources. It brings together trauma-informed therapists, coaches, healing groups, books, courses, programs, and safe churches into one carefully maintained collection. Every voice and resource in the Library has been evaluated for safety, trauma-informed practice, and integrity of care.
This is not an algorithm. It is not a marketplace. It is a trusted collection, built by practitioners who understand what healing actually requires, and maintained by a community committed to getting people to the right support.
Every resource in this Library has been chosen with one question in mind: is this safe for someone who has been hurt?

Explore All VoicesFaith communities where healing is possible.
Finding a church that is genuinely safe is one of the hardest parts of healing for survivors of religious hurt or institutional harm. The Restoration Library maintains a directory of faith communities that have done the work to become safer, more accountable spaces.
What makes a church safe?
A safe church is not a perfect church. It is a church that takes harm seriously, responds to abuse with accountability rather than protection of reputation, and cultivates a culture where people feel genuinely seen and cared for.
We evaluate churches against a clear set of criteria drawn from trauma-informed practice, abuse prevention research, and the Restoration Framework. Only churches that demonstrate ongoing commitment to these standards are listed in the Library.
Abuse Response PolicyA clear, enforced policy for responding to reports of abuse with external accountability.
Trauma-Informed LeadershipPastoral and lay leadership trained in trauma-informed care and psychological safety.
Mental Health IntegrationActive partnership with licensed mental health professionals rather than substituting spiritual counsel for clinical care.
Accountability CultureA culture where leaders can be questioned, mistakes are named, and repair is practiced over image management.
Survivors of religious hurt
For those who left church because of harm, abuse, or spiritual manipulation and who are carefully discerning whether and where to re-engage with community.
People new to faith
For those exploring faith for the first time and who want to find a community that holds both truth and safety without coercion or control.
Leaders building safer spaces
For pastors and ministry leaders who want to measure their community against a clear standard and take the steps toward becoming a listed safe church.
Sanctuary Certification
Churches seeking formal recognition can pursue Sanctuary Certification through the Safe Church Project, a connected initiative of Restoration Resources.
