Lost Sparrows Conference 2024

Join us in-person for Lost Sparrows Conference 2024 at Warsaw Community Church on September 6 & 7!

Lost Sparrows is for anyone wanting to learn more about developmental trauma and the impact of early childhood adversity. We hope you will join us as we learn from leading experts more about the human experience, the impact of traumatic experiences, and how to better help those in pain.
Education

Our focus on trauma education is twofold. First, we want to empower those with trauma to recover and to understand the impact their trauma has had on them. Second, we want to equip everyone with the knowledge and tools to help others that are hurting. All of us endure hardship and adversity on some level, and the more we understand its impact, the better we all will be.

Community

It seems our world today continues to bring new challenges, and the impact of broken relationships and childhood adversity are felt by all of us. Our conference will allow us all to connect with each other, and learn how we can better support each other.

Connection

A sense of interconnectedness and belonging are vital to the resilience of any person, family or community. We want our attendees to connect with each other in a meaningful way. We believe we’re all stronger when we are not isolated, but connected and sharing the experience of life together.

Which ticket should you purchase?
Standard Tickets vs. NASW tickets

All Lost Sparrows Conference attendees will receive certificates for each session they attend. All our sessions are approved by Indiana Department of Child Services for licensed foster family training hours.

However, if you are a professional needing CE certificates approved by National Association of Social Workers, you should purchase an NASW ticket rather than a standard General Admission ticket. NASW certificates will be provided only for the sessions that are approved by the National Association of Social Workers Indiana Chapter, which will be clearly designated on the schedule.

This year's conference has a total of 5 different sessions over 2 days. There are 3 on Friday and 2 on Saturday. At each time slot there are 4 breakout choices, and 2 workshop choices. Attendees should select their  breakouts or workshop choices prior to the conference, as some will reach capacity quickly.

Lost Sparrows Conference is not just for foster and adoptive parents looking to learn how to better serve their children. We have a variety of breakout sessions centered around helping children with trauma in the school setting as well.
