Hurtful situations often hurt and anger both the harmer and the harmed. The harmed persons often has no control over the one who harmed them, but they can choose how to react to the harm.  They can choose to avenge or to forgive. Avenging is harmful, forgiving is healing.

Forgiving is a help for therapists, counselors, health professionals, community service workers, clergy, law enforcement and individuals interested in forgiveness. It promotes forgiveness through its LearnWell Forgiveness Center, online courses, Forgiveness Cards, Forgiveness Resource Center, think tank, projects, publicity, training, materials, public speaking, interviews and general consultation.

 LearnWell Forgiveness

Purpose:  To facilitate interpersonal forgiveness among all people through an understanding of forgiveness, through teaching forgiveness and through encouraging forgiveness. The Center does not deal with international or large-population forgiveness. Forgiveness can occur on the cognitive, emotional and spiritual levels and is beneficial to people on any level. The target populations of the Center are professionals (social service, nursing, teachers, physicians, clergy, counselors etc.) persons in authority (law enforcement, judiciary, prison personnel) children, the economically, socially, and physically handicapped, and the general population. 

The LearnWell Forgiveness Center defines forgiveness as the process in which one person renounces resentment about an offense and is freed to extend good will to the offender. The Center fosters 1) research in the process of forgiveness, 2) teaches the methods and concepts of forgiveness, and 3) encourages personal forgiveness among all people. Forgiveness is different from reconciliation (two or more people rebuilding a broken relationship) and pardoning (one person releasing an offender from the punishment associated with an offense). When the offender is clearly motivated by evil and does not renounce the evil, the government is then required to stop the offender from harming more people.
