Faith, wellness & public safety

Educating minds. Strengthening families. Transforming communities.

We equip communities with knowledge, partnerships and practical tools to improve mental wellness, strengthen families, reduce trauma and enhance public safety.
Healthier people create stronger families, stronger organizations and safer communities.
“Education Lifts the Veil of Ignorance.”
Our organizing principle
Who we are
Lifting3Veils brings the wisdom of faith communities into conversation with behavioral health, family advocacy, restorative justice, leadership development, and public safety. We help congregations become places where people can be seen, supported, and connected to the right care.
Faith is not an afterthought in this work. It is a trusted relationship, a source of resilience, and a place to begin healing.
Founded in 2020 and based in Los Angeles, California, Lifting3Veils is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working where faith, mental health, and justice intersect. Through licensed clinical care, psychoeducational training, and faith-rooted leadership, the organization equips individuals, families, and communities to overcome trauma, addiction, grief, and systemic injustice — and to thrive in wholeness of mind, body, and spirit.
To equip faith leaders, clinicians, and families with evidence-informed, culturally affirming tools that integrate spiritual resilience and mental wellness — fostering healing, empowerment, and sustainable community transformation.
A world where faith, mental health, and social awareness converge to dismantle cycles of trauma, empower generations, and cultivate communities rooted in dignity, healing, and collective strength.

Our approach
01
Clinical psychological insight is integrated with faith-based principles. Programs are led by professionals with expertise in ministry, psychology, and substance abuse facilitation, and are grounded in trauma-informed and TBRI®-certified practice.
02
Churches and ministry teams are equipped to recognize trauma, reduce stigma, and create trusted pathways to care — honoring the role congregations already play in the lives of families.
03
Curricula and materials are accessible, culturally competent, and tested in the churches, schools, clinics, and neighborhoods that use them — designed with community leaders rather than delivered to them.
Program outcomes, participant counts and partnership results are documented and shared directly with funders and partners on request.
Our ministry commitments
We serve the whole person and the whole community, holding spiritual care and professional practice together with humility.

Partnership framework
01
We begin with the community, not a template — meeting leaders, staff, and families to understand the trauma, capacity, and culture already present.
02
Curriculum and session design are customized to your team's needs, audience, and faith or organizational context before any training date is set.
03
Interactive facilitation with prepared materials, Q&A, and discussion built for immediate application — single sessions or multi-day trainings.
04
Post-session follow-up and partner feedback tell us what changed, working with academic and clinical partners to refine the intervention.
05
Local leaders are equipped with tools, resource packets, and referral pathways so the work continues after we leave the room.
