trauma, as this can cause changes in that child's brain and body chemistry. They can feel out of control with their bodies, feel unsafe or unloved, or are unable to express how they are feeling or what they need, but every day at this camp you truly saw hope with the families as they learn and grow. Howard said the opportunity allows students like Curtis to gain valuable, hands-on experience working with children. She said one of the most rewarding parts of undergraduates becoming involved is being with them when they have that Aha! moment. My favorite part about the camp as a counselor was seeing the parents and children truly connect as a family through the parents learning a new parenting style and the children beginning to understand the things they never have before, Curtis said. By the end of the week, the parents were hopeful for their children, and you could see that there was hope for the child to be able to grow and learn how to adapt to their daily life. Hope Connection serves as an opportunity for families to experience healing and growth, for students to learn and find purpose in their studies, and ultimately for the Institute to transform research into action and change lives. Its one of the few times a year we have to be with families, said Howard. Its a refresher for us. It reminds us why were here. Hope Connection and the Institute of Child Development live the mission of TCU. As Hope Connection continues to impact hundreds of lives, families from all over the world seek to become involved. This year, more than 175 families applied for five spots.
