2025 HOPE Summit

2025 Hope Summit | Hope-Centered. Trauma-Informed. Child and Youth-Focused. November 6, 2025 | 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village | 1200 Lake Plaza Dr, Spring, TX 77389 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. Whether you work with children in any capacity or lead within an organization, the HOPE Summit will offer valuable tools and perspectives on building resilience in both children and adults. 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! SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE!
