Show Hope’s "Hope for the Journey" Conference (formerly the Empowered to Connect Conference) is an annual event. The hope of this one-day simulcast event will be to shepherd parents and everyday caregivers to a deeper understanding of their children’s needs. The "Hope for the Journey" Conference will continue to build upon attachment-based knowledge and experience and introduce robust resources and share practical experiences of successes and failures of day-to-day parenting and caregiving. It is Show Hope’s aim that parents and caregivers will leave encouraged as they continue to journey well with their children. Parents, caregivers, ministry leaders, and professionals will have access to these practical tools that help bring hope and healing to children who have experienced early childhood trauma.
