Building hope, one connection at a time.
CASA of West Texas’ Full Circle brought our community together to explore how hope and connection can help children and families thrive. Through a focus on Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), we learned how building trusting relationships can help children feel safe, valued, and supported.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Chan Hellman, author of Hope Rising, and Amanda Purvis, from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. Their insights reminded us that hope is something we can intentionally build and each of us has a part to play.
Our lived experience panel featuring Prince and Momma Wood brought powerful personal perspectives to the day, reminding us to keep the voices of those with lived experience at the heart of this work.
A heartfelt thank-you to Market Street and Myrick Knife Studio for generously providing the food and helping create a welcoming space to learn, share, and connect!
Thank you to everyone who joined us. Together, we’re building a community of hope for children and families across West Texas!
