History
Empowered to Connect has historically served primarily through trainers leading the Connect and Prepare courses in their communities, as well as our participation with the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development in Show Hope’s annual conference (Formerly called the Empowered to Connect Conference, currently called Hope for the Journey Conference).
The origin of the work of ETC was a collaborative effort between Dr. Karyn Purvis and Michael and Amy Monroe to co-author the Connect Course and the Created to Connect Study Guide.
Continued Collaboration
TCU/Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development: Our team is continuing to build on the rich history and long relationship between ETC and KPICD as we serve and resource families and communities nationally and globally. Additionally, ETC is a TBRI Ambassador Organization working in the State of Tennessee through our Safe & Secure Tennessee Program.
Show Hope: As one of our partners, supporters, and champions, Show Hope is instrumental in moving our work forward. We continue to participate in the annual Hope for the Journey Conference, as well as collaborate on current and new projects.
