2025 Hope for the Journey Schedule

An integral resource within Show Hope’s Pre+Post Adoption Support work, Hope for the Journey is a fully customizable platform, based on your unique needs and includes the following.
+ 5 teaching sessions based on the fundamentals of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), led by seasoned educators, practitioners, and professionals, as outlined below
+ 5 “Going Deeper” video segments on curated and relevant topics
+ 5 “Practical Perspectives” video segments from parents and caregivers with lived experience as well as voices of adult adoptees and/or foster care alum
+ A unique exploration of the intersection between the gospel and trauma-informed care and practices
+ Bonus video content that focuses on enduring or specialized topics, including ACEs and TBRI in the classroom
+ Access year-round, with content added and refreshed annually
Each host is able to decide how to present the content and how to organize breaks to best serve his or her group. Some example schedules are included below to provide ideas for how to organize your viewing. While all five modules of Hope for the Journey could be presented in one day, we encourage each host to think “outside the box” and make plans and a schedule that best suit the needs of your participants/attendees. As you plan and prepare, remember to include times for breaks, perhaps lunch, and certainly some time for discussion.
