The Empowered to Connect Conference features practical teaching in a safe and supportive
community as we work to equip families, churches, and professionals to better serve children

methods developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross from the Karyn Purvis Institute of
Child Development, to help bring attachment and connection in families. The content is ideal for
adoptive and foster parents, those considering adoption or foster care, and those who are
serving and supporting others, including social workers, agency professionals, church staff and
ministry leaders, counselors, and therapists.
