Anyone suffering with combat trauma, as well as family members of sufferers, clinicians, and people with a heart to provide care will benefit from participating in this unique and powerful training program.

1. The CCCT Course will help you to develop a greater understanding of the complexities surrounding the post-combat experience of hundreds of thousands of active duty and veterans military members.
2. The CCCT Course will broaden professional and ministry-based skills.
3. The CCCT Course will equip Christian pastors and lay ministers to reach out with sensitivity and relevance to military members, veterans, and families in their congregations and communities.

In 2009, Cru Military, the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and Light University collaborated to produce a one-of-a-kind video training program. This program is designed to help caring Christians get better equipped for ministry to military service members, veterans, and their families. Originally the program offered continuing education credits to those who satisfactorily completed the training. Those credits are no longer available.

The thirty lessons grouped into five units cover Acute Stress and Trauma, Basic Crisis Intervention, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Applications, and Spiritual Solutions.

All the video material is available for viewing online or downloading from Vimeo.
