The conference will be held Friday, April 13th and Saturday, April 14th with registration starting at 8am and the conference concluding at 5pm both days.

Email us at empoweredtoconnectlex@gmail.com if you need childcare. Childcare will be provided ONLY IF you email us to let us know before the start of the simulcast.

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 and "children from hard places". Though this conference wishes to train us on how to reach those children, it is also beneficial when working with any child. It features Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) methods developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development, 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, church staff and ministry leaders, counselors, and therapists.

The Empowered to Connect Conference is a wonderful opportunity for professionals to receive continuing education credits to use towards their licensing requirements. This is for an additional fee.
