Find Families For Vulnerable Children:
Exploring Seminar
The Exploring Adoption or Foster Care Seminar is a virtual or in-person class hosted by volunteers – typically experienced foster and/or adoptive parents – that walks potential parents through the who, what, why, and hows of adopting or fostering.
This low-pressure environment becomes a safe place for families to receive valuable overviews, ask questions, explore their own motivations, and take their next step.
Create a Caring Community:
C.A.R.E Collaborative
Caring for a child from a hard place is a tough road – 50% of foster families quit after their first year. As the Church, we can provide much-needed wrap-around support for these families – helping them succeed long-term.
The C.A.R.E. Collaborative is a holistic support model offering tools for your church to provide to families with vulnerable children. Bringing it life requires volunteer-based ministries that you can offer regardless of the size of your church, including:
CONNECT:
Fun bridge programs designed to foster fellowship between families, their kids,
and the church.
ASSISTANCE:
Practical resources and ser vices that connect families with volunteers in order to
meet specific needs through donations and care boxes
RESILIENCE:
From support groups to retreats, this is where families feel safe to begin sharing
their stories.
EQUIP:
Educational tools geared toward helping families find their path to hope and healing.

THE CONNECTION:
WHERE HEARTS MEET
How do you deal with your child’s challenging behavior and bring healing to your child’s trauma? Trust Based Relational Interventions (TBRI) is an evidence-based training for caregivers of children from hard places that goes beyond simply being trauma-informed to equipping families with practical strategies to help disarm fear and build trust. Developed at the TCU Institute of Child Development, TBRI is a set of connecting, correcting, and empowering principles that we’ve seen change the tide for struggling families.
The Connection
Where Hearts Meet by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. Elizabeth Styffe is a 13 week video-based curriculum designed to help parents and volunteers learn the fundamental principles of TBRI, while connecting them to the timeless principles of empowering, connecting, and correcting we find in Scripture.
Interested in bringing TBRI Training to your church? We can help. Email our TBRI training coordinator to get started.
