A new framework developed by a network of leaders at the Center for Community-Engaged Medicine at Tufts Medical Center is showing how the effects of ACEs can be mitigated and even healed through positive experiences. Titled Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences, or HOPE, the framework seeks to broaden our focus beyond ACEs and create a new paradigm that highlights the positive experiences that support children’s growth and development into healthy, resilient adults.
“When we, as providers, understand people based on their strengths as well as their difficulties, we can drink from that deep well and work together to address the real challenges for individual families and also the society we share,” says Robert Sege, MD, PhD, director of the HOPE National Resources Center.
Now the HOPE team has created a free online course also titled “H.O.P.E. (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences)”, for providers and others who work with children and families and want to improve their quality of care. Provided through the Tufts Learning Management System platform and developed in collaboration with the Education Development Center, this self-paced course offers free access to comprehensive research, based in the “Science of the Positive,” on how Positive Childhood Experiences drive healthy development and can mitigate the effects of ACEs.
