PREVENTION FIRST.
SAFETY ALWAYS. HEALING FOREVER.
Our mission at Shield & Eden is to equip churches with trauma-informed, evidence-based, and theologically responsible tools, training, and language that protect children, support survivors, and cultivate church cultures where safety is practiced — not assumed.
BE THE HERO AT YOUR CHURCH.
NO CAPE REQUIRED.
You don’t need x-ray vision or the ability to fly to make a real impact—just a willingness to act! If you’re leading children’s or youth ministry, preaching the sermon, leading worship, maintaining the facility, offering a hand at events, supporting behind the scenes, or serving anywhere in the life of the church — knowing how to prevent, recognize, and report harm is essential. Additionally, understanding how to care well for individuals who have been impacted by abuse or trauma helps create a church culture where safety is practiced, not assumed. No cape required — just your commitment to protection, prevention, and healing, and a little bit of your time.
Our not-so-secret Superpowers
We may not have capes (yet), but we’re pretty great at tackling the hard conversations and hidden harms most people struggle to name. At Shield & Eden, our not-so-secret superpower is the way we bridge lived experience, evidence-based research, and biblical theology to create healing-centered, survivor-informed change. We bring these three worlds together to help individuals and communities understand harm, prevent it, and move toward safety and restoration.
Lived Experience (Survivor-Led)
We ground our work in lived experience, offering insight, truth, and compassion that can only come from someone who has survived and healed from the inside out.
Evidence-Based Research
We pair survivor insight with evidence-based research, ensuring every approach is not only compassionate, but also proven to support real safety and healing.
Biblical Theology
Contextual & Responsible
We approach Scripture with care and context, ensuring it becomes a source of safety and restoration—not a tool that excuses, minimizes, or spiritualizes harm.
