More about Hope for the Journey
Developed by Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development (KPICD) at TCU, TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) is a care model designed to help meet relational and developmental needs of children and youth impacted by trauma. TBRI considers the whole child—his or her brain, biology, behavior, body, and beliefs—and provides parents and caregivers with practical tools and insight to help their child(ren) reach his or her high potential. And, perhaps most integaral part TBRI’s core is connection—the truth that connection builds trust, and trust builds healthy relationships.
The Hope for the Journey Conference also includes a fifth learning module—The Gospel + TBRI—and will highlight adult adoptee/foster care alum as well as family voices and experiences, offering parents and caregivers greater insight to the often complex needs of children impacted by adoption or foster care.
Post conference, Show Hope provides practical application guides with thoughts, questions, and reflections as well as action steps and activities. These guides reinforce concepts and teachings shared during the conference along with practical ideas for incorporating conference insights into the day-to-day. The aim is to further educate and encourage families impacted by adoption and foster care as they seek to provide hope and healing to the children entrusted to them.
