What is the Building Hope for Children Conference?

The Building Hope for Children Conference offers a high-quality learning, networking, and resource sharing opportunity for anyone interested in the prevention of child abuse and neglect and the promotion of child and family well-being.
Attendees include professionals of all levels in the fields of child welfare, education, healthcare, mental health, childcare and more as well as community stakeholders such as parents and caregivers, guardians ad litem, elected officials, and others. The Home Visiting Summit will remain merged with the conference for 2024. This is an opportunity for those in the home visiting field to receive tailored content for their profession. We encourage all home visitors to attend.
Conference attendees will be inspired by dozens of dynamic breakout sessions, local and national experts, and networking opportunities with peers from around the state. CEUs will be offered through South Carolina AHEC.
