2023 HOPE resource round-up [positiveexperience.org/blog]

At the HOPE National Resource Center, we create resources all year round. Many of our resources are created in collaboration with HOPE Facilitators, HOPE Champions, and others who are implementing the HOPE framework in their organization or community. Below are many of the new resources we created in 2023. Each resource is a guide, not an instruction manual, that shares ways of practicing or implementing the HOPE framework that can be tailored to your organization or community. Every organization, community, and family practices positive childhood experiences (PCEs) differently, which is why these resources leave room for flexibility in their practice. We are looking forward to more resource collaborations in 2024.
