A free virtual event for parents and caregivers who still give a care
Learn practical trauma-informed strategies from 25+ lived-experience experts to nurture safe, connected, and resilient homes — without losing yourself in the process.
You care deeply...and it's heavy.
Whether you’re parenting a child from foster care or adoption, navigating complex developmental needs, or holding space for your own healing while raising little humans, you’ve likely felt the weight of trauma, disconnection, and systems that don’t support your family’s reality.
What if there were a place where that care didn’t have to cost you everything?
Welcome to the TraumaWise Parenting Summit
This is not another one-size-fits-all parenting workshop — it’s a realignment.
A space where you’ll find the tools, clarity, and community to parent from a place of wisdom, not burnout.
MAYBE RIGHT NOW YOU FEEL...
Compassion-Fatigued
Unsure what will actually help your child regulate
Overwhelmed by constant crises or challenging behaviors
Burned out but still showing up every day
There has to be a better way!
What if you could feel...
More grounded in your parenting decisions
Connected to people who truly get it
Equipped with tools that actually work in your family’s context
Confident in reading your child’s cues and meeting their needs
This is exactly what the TraumaWise Parenting Summit is about!
What You’ll Experience
- Relational Tools for Sustainable Change -Practical strategies to create a home culture rooted in felt-safety, co-regulation, and connection.
- Shared Language + Lived Wisdom - No buzzwords. Just frameworks that work, grounded in real-world parenting experience.
- A Brave, Gentle Community - You’re not doing this alone. This is a space where your parenting is honored, not judged.
- An Activation Point - This isn’t about theory. It’s about transformation — for you, your child, and your family system.
Who It's For
This is for you if you're...
- A foster, adoptive, or kinship caregiver feeling stretched thin
A parent navigating your child’s big behaviors and even bigger needs
A survivor parenting without wanting to repeat cycles of harm
A values-driven caregiver seeking more than a checkbox training

All you will have to do is access the link you will receive each day via email.
This event is entirely virtual, so you’ll be able to attend from anywhere in the world with internet access.

What makes This Event Unique
You don’t need another parenting summit telling you to “just stay calm,” “be consistent,” or “try this new chart system” — while ignoring the deeper wounds your family is carrying.
Good news — this is not that.
The TraumaWise Parenting Summit was created for people who love fiercely and feel the weight of that love in their homes, their bodies, and their daily lives.
Instead of offering quick fixes that fall apart in the heat of a meltdown, this summit meets you with:
This summit isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing it differently — and not doing it alone.

HAVE QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
If you’re curious about sustainable trauma-informed strategies and practices while educating students, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically talking to educators and learning leaders and focusing on hope, community, and practical tools for those who want to sustain as they continue to be instrumental in the healing and prevention of trauma, but anyone else who wants to get started with how to understand what is needed to support others in the healing process is welcome to join us.
The main portion of the summit runs from September 15-17, 2025. You’ll also be able to join our Private Online Summit Community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!
While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for 72 hours with your free ticket. So we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are looking for felt-safety, connection, and co-regulation to sustain you as you continue to be instrumental in the healing and prevention of trauma.
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the TraumaWise ToolKit for extended access.
Your free ticket includes 72 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the TraumaWise ToolKit after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, most of the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our Private Summit Community with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the TraumaWise email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 22 email lists that you're not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy policy.Yes. All presentations have closed captioning available, and we are creating transcriptions of each presentation for all registrants. An extended workbook with additional notes is also available with our upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.
Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at renae@traumawise.com
