Why should you attend this year’s HOPE Summit<\/h2>\n

We are excited to host the Fifth Annual HOPE Summit \u2013 Shaping the Future: A Framework for Every Sector<\/a> on June 3-4, 2025! The Summit is for all who work in a child- and family-serving sector, from medical practices to community organizations, educators, and administrative staff.<\/p>\n

From our action-packed schedule of two keynote addresses, three workshop sessions featuring 5 sector-specific tracks, and an exciting closing panel discussion, you will gain insights into how your fellow professionals have practically implemented the HOPE framework into their day-to-day work, organizational programming and practices, and community outreach. Through networking opportunities, you will build meaningful connections with your colleagues from diverse child and family-serving sectors across the U.S. and globally. You can also earn 8 continuing education credits (CMEs and CEUs) when you attend all the Summit sessions.<\/p>\n

And most importantly, you will walk away with not just knowing how positive childhood experiences<\/a> (PCEs) can build resilience and improve health outcomes, but also how to promote PCEs through applying the HOPE framework in your work with children and families.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n
