Hope Connection 2.0
Hope Connection 2.0 is a therapeutic camp for adopted children and their families. Derived from The Hope Connection, the original TBRI summer camp created by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross in the late 1990’s, Hope Connection 2.0 is designed to meet the needs of the entire family, from parents to adopted children to adoptive siblings. Families will learn to better connect with one another, understand and meet needs, and regulate behavior in the context of relationships.
An Announcement Regarding 2025 Hope Connection 2.0 Opportunities
We are excited to announce that instead of hosting Hope Connection 2.0 Camp in 2025, the KPICD is partnering with a local organization, MHMR of Tarrant County, to cohost a camp for the families they serve.
The camp is intended to sustain and support families who have already completed services through MHMR and been equipped with TBRI education and coaching. The camp will serve as a “booster shot” for TBRI implementation for families. The hope is that the camp will be able to be recreated for additional MHMR programs several times throughout the year. The goal is sustainability with ongoing support for families through TBRI immersion.
For TCU child development students, this will provide an opportunity to be immersed in a TBRI-intensive environment with children, youth, and families. They will be able to practice their TBRI skills within a supportive environment with in-the-moment feedback from TBRI Practitioners and Mentors. The goal is multiple opportunities throughout the year to volunteer and support families while improving TBRI skills and partnering with a local organization.
