THE HOPE FOR THE JOURNEY SIMULCAST CONFERENCE

APRIL 29 - IN-PERSON
ONLINE VIEWING OPTION COMING SOON

We have been hosting the Empowered to Connect Simulcast conference with multiple local churches for the past few years. Last year the conference was re-named Hope for Journey.  We love hosting this TBRI Trust-Based Relational Intervention online conference for Compelled to Care families, volunteers and the community.  

The Hope for the Journey Simulcast Conference (formally the Empowered to Connect Conference) is a deep dive into TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) and trauma informed parenting strategies that can be essential for foster, adoptive and kinship parents and caregivers. It is also a great opportunity for anyone who works with children and youth who have experienced trauma like social workers, teachers, faith leaders, medical professionals, childcare professionals, etc. This conference features training from Daren Jones, the Associate Director of Training and Consultation Services and Amanda Purvis, a Training Specialist with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at TCU and others.

Here's what you can expect:
