The beautiful thing about the HOPE framework is that it is not manualized. The flexibility of the framework means that applying the HOPE framework can look really different depending on the setting you work in. From K-12 education to Child Welfare to healthcare to community based organizations, the HOPE framework can be modified to be meaningful for anyone who works with or has children![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1766070498619{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>Spreading PCEs as a HOPE Facilitator?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/train-with-us\/certification-programs\/train-the-facilitator-certification\/\">HOPE Facilitators<\/a> are key partners in spreading the core concepts of the HOPE framework and are certified to deliver the <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/train-with-us\/public-introduction-to-hope-workshops\/\">Introduction to HOPE workshop<\/a>. Through our certification program, HOPE Facilitators work through the process of developing their version of the Introduction to HOPE workshop for their unique community they will present to. Facilitators can offer these introductory trainings for a cost or free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>By bringing the HOPE framework into your unique setting, you are uplifting family\u2019s strengths, opportunities for children to build resilience, and safe spaces for healing and growth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730488508518{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>What does the HOPE Facilitator certification process involve?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are interested in becoming a HOPE Facilitator, make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements and time commitment required for the program.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility requirements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Be a seasoned trainer with experience providing trainings or workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Have participated in a live Introduction to HOPE workshop, completed the Spreading HOPE online course, or be willing to complete the online course prior to program launch date.

Organizations can also request a private cohort so that their employees can train together. This is especially helpful if you are working to implement the HOPE framework throughout your organization or department.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1766070603751{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>What support do I get after completing my HOPE Facilitator Certification?<\/h2>\n<p>After you are certified as a HOPE Facilitator, you will continue to have access to all the HOPE National Resource Center resources and members of the team for consultation and partnership. We work closely with Facilitators to collaborate on new resources and update presentations. If you are asked to present for a group and need help adapting your Introduction to HOPE presentation, the HOPE National Resource Center team is happy to help brainstorm ideas and offer advice.<\/p>\n<p>The HOPE National Resource Center team team also offers optional monthly office hours for Facilitators. This hour-long drop-in session is a place where fellow Facilitators can share lessons learned and seek support from their colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>You also will become a part of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/blog\/bringing-the-hope-community-together-through-the-new-hope-facilitator-hub\/\">HOPE Facilitator Hub<\/a>, where all HOPE Facilitators and <a href=\"https:\/\/positiveexperience.org\/train-with-us\/certification-programs\/hope-champion-certification\/\">Champions<\/a> have a profile to share upcoming presentations and resources.
