The HOPE National Resource Center has released a new resource, HOPE-informed Screenings and Assessments. This resource provides guidelines to make screenings and assessments more HOPE-informed. By nature, most screenings and assessments are looking for things that are not going well: substance use, intimate partner violence, developmental delays. While this information is often necessary to support the family, it can leave families feeling defeated. How service providers prepare, conduct, and follow-up after a screening can change the experience for families dramatically. This resource walks you through the steps to make screenings and assessments more HOPE-informed. By following this guide, service providers can help create a space where children, youth, and families have a better understanding of the purpose of the screening, as well as control over the process.
