She\u2019s helped families and children navigate domestic abuse, food insecurity, health issues, and all sorts of traumas. Only one mental health framework, however, has been so compelling that she\u2019s incorporated it across her whole organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years, the focus within her 82-person organization and in much of the mental health landscape was on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/blog\/how-can-we-heal-from-adverse-childhood-experiences\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adverse Childhood Experiences<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ACEs). In 2016, Center for Child Counseling launched the \u201cFighting ACEs\u201d initiative and has since trained 30,000 adults <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> childcare workers, school professionals, pediatricians, and people in the child welfare system <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on how to mitigate the impact of adverse experiences and environments on children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when Layman attended conferences and trainings that focused solely on ACEs, she felt something was missing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lot of what \u2026 we could see happening with the ACEs training\u2026it just seemed hopeless,\u201d says Layman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She knew that focusing on positive experiences<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; by identifying resources available to her clients, highlighting the strengths of the families and communities she serves and helping them cultivate stronger relationships <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made her feel more hopeful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She says that after learning about the HOPE framework: \u201cI just really liked how it just brought it all together,\u201d she says.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1758516795909{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>Starting the journey of HOPE implementation<\/h2>\n<p>Layman started her <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/train-with-us\/certification-programs\/train-the-facilitator-certification\">HOPE Train the Facilitator<\/a> training in the fall of 2023 and became a <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/train-with-us\/certification-programs\/hope-champion-certification\/\">HOPE Champion<\/a> in August of 2024. She\u2019s been using the HOPE framework at almost every level of her organization, including reforming the screening and intake process for children and families.<\/p>\n<p>For years, the Child Counseling Center had been using PEARLS\u2014 Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener \u2014 which screens for ACEs. But Layman realized that a strengths-based approach could shift the experience of any family seeking care, and help deal with the \u201cno-show\u201d problem, which is when clients begin the counseling process but then don\u2019t return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn typical mental health settings \u2026 engagement rates drop off. That&#8217;s one of the things that we&#8217;re really interested in \u2026 how can we really initially engage families and assess what they need in a positive way, and also a part of it is awareness and education for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She now uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/resource\/the-four-building-block-of-hope\/\">Four Building Blocks of HOPE<\/a>, or key types of <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/blog\/why-pces-are-important-for-all-children-and-families\/\">positive childhood experiences<\/a> (PCEs), which all children need to thrive,\u00a0to guide the interview process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have shifted our screening process to start with the PCEs as being the first thing that the parents engage [with].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This might include asking parents what assets are currently available to the children \u2014 whether it be a safe park to play in or a place to get healthy food. It\u2019s an opportunity to get information about the things in a child\u2019s environment that influence their well-being, and to make them aware of additional resources they might need.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1758516753975{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2><b>Incorporating the HOPE framework within an organization<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She\u2019s also incorporated the HOPE framework into non-client aspects of the organization. She\u2019s presented about the HOPE framework to her staff and board and even included it in their upcoming strategic plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are rebranding, redesigning each of our trainings as we roll them out. And instead of starting with ACEs, we&#8217;re going to start with PCEs.\u201d One of these revamped trainings is a 4-hour intensive that now focuses on the HOPE framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She\u2019s gone through the organization\u2019s Human Resources policies and tried to connect the dots between the organization\u2019s mission <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 building the foundation for playful, helpful, hopeful living for children, families and communities <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the policy itself. Sometimes it\u2019s as small as changing a time-off policy to explain the reasoning behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd so putting in why we&#8217;re doing that, [the] need for \u2026 work\/life balance and taking care of themselves and their family\u2026being more thoughtful and hopeful in our [HR policy] language.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her organization is starting a new campaign, \u201cFrom Trauma to Hope,\u201d to educate funders and stakeholders about why systems-wide thinking is critical for providing the Four Building Blocks of HOPE to children, especially safe, stable, and equitable environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When agencies like the Center for Child Counseling rely on insurance companies to get paid for their services, it limits the way they can provide care: essentially, they have to diagnose a child with a mental health condition. But the HOPE framework shows that a child\u2019s wellbeing is based on so many factors, Layman says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe [family] may not have diapers. We&#8217;re seeing there may be formula issues, or they can&#8217;t pay their electricity bill, or they\u2019re couch surfing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funders need to understand that children and families need comprehensive services in order to thrive, says Layman, who recently secured a grant from Palm Beach County called \u201cProject Family Hope: Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences.\u201d Layman also plans to convene 90 pediatricians this winter to talk about children\u2019s health. The HOPE framework has given her the tools and the messaging to convey to funders and practitioners all across the field that \u201cwe need to shift our model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What does the HOPE framework look like in your work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have an amazing story to share on how you are using the HOPE framework in your work with children and families?
