Start a Life-Giving Wounds Chapter on Your College Campus

Why Partner With Us?

To give a space, compassion, and Catholic faith-centered healing to students with divorced or separated parents, who are often suffering in silence, feeling on the fringe of the faith community, and searching for healing.

Also, by working with us, you will tap into our extensive experience forming successful peer-based chapters, and be joining the expansive LGW network coast to coast and internationally, which can provide additional, unique benefits to your students and campus ministry (see next section for more detail).

“Less than half [of] the children in the United States today will grow up in a household with continuously married parents.”

  • Activity workbook and journal with prayers, small group discussion questions, and journal prompts

  • Leadership training and monthly coaching for student leaders and campus ministers

  • Suggested semester schedules

  • A proven way to form a team, which can respond effectively to mental health needs, ensure faithfulness to Catholic teachings, and include the Sacraments

  • Connection to the expansive Life-Giving Wounds network coast to coast with 30+ diocesan chapters, which can provide an additional resource of retreats, facilitators, spiritual directors, counselors, and mentors for college students

  • Large alumni network and online resources provided by the national ministry, which can assist students in their ongoing healing journey, especially as they enter a vocation
