Empowered to Connect Simulcast


Hope Cottage invites you to join us at the free Empowered to Connect  live simulcast.  The conference, held in Nashville and broadcasting live at participating venues across the nation, delivers key information on helping participants connect with children who come from hard placed in order to help them heal.  The two day event is led by Dr. Karyn Purvis, Director of the TCU Institute of Child Development and is ideal for adoptive and foster parents, professionals and ministry leaders.  Hope Cottage staff will be attending both Dallas and Fort Worth events.
