June 20-21, 2008 Host: SonLife Community Church
what is the HOPE conference?
The HOPE Conference is for adults who interact with or make decisions about children on a regular basis. Do you work with children? Are you on a board of an organization that works with children? Then this conference will better equip you to serve children. Insurance companies have helped us see the need for abuse prevention, but what about children who cross our path after they have been abused? What next? How do we recognize the signs? This conference will attempt to raise awareness and equip those working with children, with information from both a clinical and counseling perspective.
