Trauma-Free Childhood Summit
Presented by TowardNewHumans.Org
Breaking the Trauma Cycle
How we raise children shapes the world they create.
Join 35+ leading voices — educators, therapists, researchers, parent coaches and culture changers — for a week of conversations about preventing unnecessary childhood wounding, repairing ruptures, and creating emotionally safer cultures in our homes, schools and communities.
November 16–21, 2026
Free Online Event
35+ Leading Voices
CEUs Available
Every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, seen, connected and loved.
We inherited ways of raising children that we now understand can cause harm.
Connection is built in ordinary moments — when a child feels our attention, curiosity and care.
Why this conversation matters
We have learned enough to choose differently.
Many familiar ways of disciplining, educating and relating to children were passed down before we understood their long-term impact. Today, neuroscience, trauma research and child development are giving us better choices.
What if changing childhood is one of the most powerful ways we can change humanity?
This summit brings together people who are helping adults recognize what diminishes confidence, agency and belonging — and showing us what to do differently.

Culture Transformers + Policy Advocates
I Want to Be Part of This
No specialist background required — just a willingness to learn and relate differently.
No Blame. No Need for Perfection.
MORE AWARENESS → MORE CHOICE → MORE CONNECTION
This summit is not about blame or perfect parenting. It is an invitation to understand what we know now and practice what becomes possible because we know it.
Her work has consistently centered on bringing people together to collaborate on creating conditions in which children, families, communities can thrive.
Hosted by Susan M. Curry
