2024 Hope for the Journey Conference
(Formerly the Empowered to Connect Conference)
Saturday, April 27 – 8:30am – 5:30pm (registration 8:00am)
Show Hope’s ‘Hope for the Journey’ Conference is designed to encourage and equip parents and caregivers meeting the everyday needs of children impacted by adoption and/or foster care. The conference is also a much-needed resource for churches, agencies, and organizations in their care and support of the families and communities they serve.
The adoption journey does not end on the day a child is welcomed home; in fact, the journey is just beginning. Children impacted by adoption and/or foster care have often experienced early attachment injuries related to loss, abuse, trauma, and/or neglect. There is hope and help, though. Whether you are in the adoption process, have welcomed a child home through adoption, or are loving and serving well children through foster care, you are not alone.
The conference remains low-cost, high-impact as Show Hope also works to resource parents, churches, agencies, and other organizations as they support and equip the families, caregivers, and the communities they serve. Structurally, the Hope for the Journey Conference will include five high-level learning modules based on the foundational principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) along with a new teaching component, The Gospel + TBRI. Embedded within each learning module will be a “Going Deeper” teaching video on a select topic, and also included will be two practical, encouraging “Practical Perspectives” videos featuring the voices of adult adoptees as well as adoptive and foster families.
Cost per person: $20 (includes 1 workbook, conference registration, continental breakfast, snacks, and lunch)
Cost per couple: $30 (includes 1 workbook to share, conference registration, continental breakfast, snacks, and lunch)
