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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>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 positives 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/resources-category\/fact-sheets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to find HOPE handouts and worksheets<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Sege and Loren McCullough joined Fatimah Abioye from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and presented a workshop called \u201cFamily Experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Results from a survey of 9000 U.S. parents and caregivers.\u201d PCAA CEO Dr. Melissa Merrick moderated the discussion, which was attended by 160 participants. The session focused on results from surveys of 9000 US parents, asking parents and caregivers about their experiences during the pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/family-snapshot-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/child-discipline-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">results<\/a> showed that 40% of US parents suffered financially due to the pandemic; 44% of men and 53% of women were laid off, furloughed, or saw reduced work hours. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/family-snapshot-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/the-financial-impact-of-the-pandemic-on-families-with-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Government assistance<\/a> to about half of US families buffered the financial impact. Although most children schools closed to in-person learning, many parents reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/family-snapshot-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/despite-the-pandemic-many-parents-report-family-closeness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helping their children with their education<\/a> had positive effects on their relationships \u2013 even though it was often very stressful. The survey found that 5 in 6 parents reported using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/family-snapshot-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/child-discipline-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">positive parenting practices<\/a> instead of corporal punishment.
