LEWISVILLE, Texas, May 29, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — One Big Happy Home, a leader in trauma-informed training and coaching, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with CarePortal, a platform connecting churches to the real-time needs of vulnerable children and families. This collaboration will expand One Big Happy Home’s Made to Connect program, bringing essential trauma-informed training to churches across the United States.

Made to Connect is a one-day summit designed to equip churches with the knowledge and skills needed to support families impacted by trauma, helping them create healing-centered communities. By partnering with CarePortal, One Big Happy Home will leverage an extensive network of churches already engaged in serving children and families in crisis, ensuring that congregations are not only meeting tangible needs but are also equipped to foster long-term relational and emotional healing.

“Our mission has always been to provide adults with the tools they need to help children feel safe, welcome, and loved so they can thrive,” said Ryan North, Co-Founder of One Big Happy Home. “By joining forces with CarePortal, we can bring this life-changing training to more churches, helping them walk alongside families with confidence and compassion. This partnership will allow us to work together and transform communities across the country.”

CarePortal, a platform that has mobilized hundreds of churches to meet the physical needs of vulnerable children and families, sees this partnership as a natural extension of its work. “We are thrilled to partner with One Big Happy Home,” said Janelle Shelton, Director of Strategic Partnerships at CarePortal. “This partnership aligns with our vision of empowering the Church to form meaningful connections with vulnerable families, by being the hands and feet of Jesus - not just meeting needs but also transforming lives through trauma-informed support and relationship-building.”

Together, One Big Happy Home and CarePortal will launch a national initiative to bring Made to Connect to churches in key cities throughout 2025, providing church leaders and volunteers with the skills needed to support families in crisis effectively.
