Empowered to Connect Bio

The Empowered to Connect Conference features practical teaching in a safe and supportive community as we work to equip families, churches and professionals to better serve children impacted by adoption and foster care.  It features Trust-Based Relationship Intervention® (TBRI®) methods developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at TCU, to help bring attachment and connection in families.  The content is ideal for adoptive and foster parents, those considering adoption or foster care, and those who are serving and supporting others, including social workers, agency professionals, ministry leaders, counselors and therapists.
This is a 2 day event running April 26-27 from 9:00-5:00 each day. Refreshments will be provided during breaks, and time will be allowed to purchase lunch from a local restaurant.
