On the week of August 9th, the HOPE team was honored to be a part of the Transforming Our Tomorrow: 2021 Prevent Child Abuse America Virtual Conference (PCAA). This conference focused on the need for ongoing growth in ourselves, organizations and communities, and explored what we can do now to impact our future growth.
The HOPE team presented the HOPE framework to 140 direct service providers, managers and policymakers. Project Director, Dr. Dina Burstein, HOPE West Coast Project Manager, Amanda Winn, and Research Assistant, Loren McCullough, gave a one-hour workshop on the basics of HOPE. Attendees learned how to add the HOPE framework into their home visits with children and families. They also learned to look at families and family life through a HOPEful lens, finding strengths that the family can build on to address their challenges. Knowing about the positive that already exists forms an important collaboration between the home visitors and the families. Home visitors who learn about participant strengths can help participants build from these strengths to address the challenges of family life.
