[vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This summer, the Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experience (HOPE) framework has seen an increase in recognition around the world, with continued partnerships in Australia and Oceania, Chile, and the Netherlands. I also traveled to the United Kingdom for two international research meetings.<\/p>\n

Research shows positive childhood experiences<\/a> (PCEs) help children build resilience and grow into thriving, healthy adults. The more PCEs a child has, the better their health and economic outcomes<\/a> later as adults. The HOPE framework centers on the promotion of the four key types of PCEs, we call the Four Building Blocks of HOPE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am excited to share updates on our international partners who are spreading PCEs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n

Finding PCEs across the globe<\/h2>\n

Australia<\/h3>\n

The HOPE National Resource Center has a longstanding partnership with Western Sydney University in Australia. Their team has implemented the HOPE framework in collaboration with TeEACH<\/a> (Transforming Early Education and Child Health), led by Professor Rebekah Grace<\/a>. Professor Grace\u2019s academic work focuses on the child\u2019s experience of care in a variety of settings and on transferring these insights into systems change.<\/p>\n

Another leader who is championing the HOPE framework in Australia is Distinguished Professor Lynn Kemp<\/a>. Professor Kemp has successfully incorporated the HOPE framework in her program, Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home-visiting<\/a> (MECSH). Through this work, Professor Kemp has trained networks of people on the HOPE framework and MECSH around the world.<\/p>\n

This summer, the HOPE National Resource Center hosted Professor Grace. She visited with senior leaders at The Massachusetts Children\u2019s Trust<\/a> in to discuss the practical effects of building family support deeply into child welfare systems.<\/p>\n

United Kingdom<\/h3>\n

In June, I traveled to Liverpool to meet with two research groups, INSPEC (International Network for Supporting Positive Intervention in Early Childhood), sponsored by the Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, and a larger pan-European group. During these meetings, there was great interest in developing and analyzing data sources that include PCEs.<\/p>\n

Chile<\/h3>\n

Javiera Brierley Vera, MD<\/a> first learned about the HOPE framework two years ago as a medical student. Now a faculty member at Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile<\/a>, she is a family medicine physician who focuses on children and adolescents.<\/p>\n

Dr. Brierley Vera is also a trained HOPE Facilitator<\/a> and an ambassador for the HOPE National Resource Center in Chile. She works with us to create new HOPE en Espa\u00f1ol<\/a> content publicly available on our website. Working with her colleagues, Dr. Brierley is bringing the HOPE framework to Latin America. In September, she facilitated our first-ever meeting of Spanish-speaking HOPE Facilitators.<\/p>\n

Netherlands<\/h3>\n

Lana Jelenjev, founder of Neurodiversity Foundation<\/a>, is an active partner from the Netherlands. She is a HOPE Facilitator and member of our current HOPE Innovation Network<\/a> (HIN) cohort. With her colleague Saskia Wenniger, Jelenjev is adapting the HOPE framework to support neurodivergent individuals.<\/p>\n

She also created a new resource, the HOPEful Conversations Card Deck<\/a>, where players will share moments of the Four Building Blocks of HOPE through reflective prompts and actions that spark connection, insight, and growth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n

Where next? Growing the HOPE framework around the world<\/h2>\n

We are excited to see the HOPE framework grow around the world. If you are interested in promoting positive childhood experiences through the HOPE framework, reach out<\/a> to us to get started![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
