SUMMARY:Hope for the Journey - Tyler Training
DESCRIPTION: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 is a training 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. \nAcross 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. \nThis training will teach you how to work with children and families who have experienced trauma through a two day practical application training through Show Hope’s Hope for the Journey – a completely digital\, fully customizable resource designed to encourage and equip parents\, caregivers\, church communities\, and professionals caring for children\, particularly those impacted by adoption and/or foster care. \nThursday\, April 23\, 2026 from 9:00 am -3:00 pm \nFriday\, April 24\, 2026 from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm \nCEUS are available. \nRegister Here
