The HOPE framework benefits organizations and the children and families they serve<\/h2>\n

The HOPE National Resource Center works closely with organizations to implement positive changes using the HOPE framework. The HOPE framework is a flexible, strength-based model that many children- and family-serving professionals use to promote positive childhood experiences<\/a> (PCEs) in their work. We commonly hear from these HOPE-trained<\/a> professionals how important it is for their organizational leaders to practice the framework as well.<\/p>\n

Positive experiences are not exclusive to children. When organizational leaders use the HOPE framework to promote a positive internal culture for their staff, they inevitably impact the children and families they serve. Organizations can intentionally celebrate their staff\u2019s strengths and engage with them in how their work connects to a shared mission and vision. This allows staff members to feel valued and a part of something bigger than themselves.<\/p>\n

Organization leaders need to set an example by using the HOPE framework to inform how they supervise their staff, review and conduct their policies and practices, and seek community feedback. By doing so, a positive HOPE-Informed culture helps maintain higher staff satisfaction and retention and improves the relationship between organizations and the communities they serve.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1761654084225{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\n

HOPE resource for organizational leaders and decision makers<\/h2>\n

To help organizations create a culture of HOPE, we created the HOPE-Informed supervision and leadership handout<\/a> in partnership with the YMCA of San Diego<\/a> County. This resource can be used with the HOPE-Informed checklist for decision making<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This resource shares helpful examples of how to be an effective leader using the HOPE framework.<\/p>\n
