IN 2025, LOST SPARROWS CONTINUED TO FULFILL ITS MISSION TO EMPOWER AND EQUIP FAMILIES, CAREGIVERS AND COMMUNITIES TO LOVE, NURTURE, AND PROTECT VULNERABLE CHILDREN. WE DID THIS THROUGH PROVIDING TRAUMA INFORMED TRAINING FOR MANY LOCAL FAMILIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND FOSTER LICENSING AGENCIES. WE ALSO PROVIDED MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS FOR DOZENS OF FAMILIES FROM ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA. 2025 ALSO SAW OUR TRAUMA CONFERENCE EVOLVE INTO THE HEALING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA CONFERENCE. THE CONFERENCE WAS ATTENDED BY OVER 300 PEOPLE LOOKING TO HEAL THEIR OWN HISTORY OF TRAUMA OR LEARN MORE ABOUT SUPPORTING CHILDREN WITH TRAUMA. OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS WERE PETER MUTABAZI AND DR. SHANNAE ANDERSON. POST CONFERENCE SURVEYS SHOWED 96% OF ATTENDEES FELT BETTER PREPARED TO HELP OTHERS THAT HAD BEEN IMPACTED BY TRAUMA, AND RATED THE CONFERENCE 4.87 / 5 STARS OVERALL. ONE ATTENDEE STATED I TRY TO COME EVERY YEAR IT NOT ONLY HELPS ME GROW PROFESSIONALLY SO I CAN BETTER SUPPORT MY STUDENTS, BUT I ALSO FIND PERSONAL HEALING EACH TIME I ATTEND. THANK YOU
