Children and teens need to know they are safe, secure, valued, and loved, yet key developmental and relational needs are often overlooked with traditional parenting models. Hope for the Journey designed to equip parents, caregivers, church leaders, and professionals with the tools to build connection and trust with the children and teens in their care so they can thrive inside and outside their home.
Across five powerful, highly practical teaching sessions along with additional support resources, Hope for the Journey explores the principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®)—a care model designed to meet the unique, sometimes complex needs of children and teens, particularly those impacted by adoption and/or foster care. And as outlined by the Show Hope team, you will see how the fundamentals of TBRI are expressions of the gospel—our faith in action.

Fostering and adoption affects the entire family. We want to take some time in our adult portion this month to focus on this. Max Heller, the College and Young Adult Pastor at Grace Community Church, grew up in a foster and adoptive home and is going to share some of his experiences.
Our youth are going to focus on Empathy. We realize this is so important for all children in a foster and adoptive home. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It's foundation for healthy relationships.
