Empowered to Connect


We are so excited to be hosting the live simulcast of the Empowered to Connect Conference again this year.

The Empowered To Connect Conference is a two-day conference for adoptive and foster parents, ministry leaders, and professionals designed to help them connect with children from hard places in order to help them heal and become all that God desires for them to be. Led by Dr. Karyn Purvis (Director of the TCU Institute of Child Development), this conference 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, therapists and others all involved in adoption and foster care ministries or services. Conferences sessions will be held from 10am-6pm on both days. Light refreshments will be provided during breaks throughout the event, with “on your own” lunch breaks. All participants are highly encouraged to attend sessions on both days. Professionals may be eligible to receive continuing education credit for their participation.
