The Hope for the Journey Conference began more than a dozen years ago as a two day in-person conference, “Empowered to Connect.” Recently it has been offered each Spring as a streaming conference to enable churches to reach a larger audience. Sponsored by Show Hope, the Hope for the Journey Conference is designed to equip and encourage parents and caregivers meeting the needs of children impacted by adoption and/or foster care. Concepts taught include how trauma effects the brain, attachment styles, sensory processing, and core concepts of TBRI (trust-based relational intervention.)
Although geared toward adoptive and foster parents, Hope for the Journey is valuable for any parent, grandparent, teacher, youth worker, friend, or neighbor. Many professionals attend and gain insights, strategies, and helpful tools for working with people. Adults often find insight into their own attachment histories and the role it plays in their relationships.
The conference helps understand how to rebuild and repair ruptured attachments in relationships. Part of Show Hope’s focus is strengthening the church in being trauma-informed and competent in care.
In other words, you are invited. Please tell others about this too. We all need “Hope for the Journey” as we seek to journey well with our children and families.
Friday, April 28, 9 am – 4 pm. Faith Family in Winter Garden, FL. Please register so we know how to plan.
