The 2025 HOPE Summit, facilitated by Dr. Chan Hellman, Ph.D., one of the world’s leading hope scholars and co-author of Hope Rising: How the Science of Hope Can Change Your Life, is a transformative experience designed to deepen understanding of hope as a powerful tool for overcoming adversity.
Based on Dr. Hellman’s evidence-backed research, this summit explores his Hope Centered™ curriculum, equipping attendees with practical strategies to foster resilience and healing in children and families.
The HOPE Summit is designed to be impactful for everyone, whether you’ve attended a previous CTI Conference or are completely new to these concepts. This powerful event will lay the foundation for understanding the science of hope and how it intersects with trauma-informed care, equipping attendees with evidence-based strategies to support and empower children and families in need.
If you’ve previously attended a CTI Conference, this summit is a vital next step, tying together insights on trauma, TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention®), and the science of hope, empowering professionals, caregivers, advocates, and others serving children and families to create lasting change. However, no prior experience is necessary—just a commitment to learning, growing, and bringing hope to those who need it most!
