About HOPE
The HOPE Framework
Partner with Laurie as a HOPE Champion
As a certified HOPE Champion, I guide organizations in implementing the HOPE Framework and working towards HOPE informed organizational certification. Through expert consultation, training, support and guidance, I help your team implement the Four Building Blocks to ensure children, families and one another have what they need to grow and thrive.
The HOPE Framework (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) is a research-based approach developed through work at Tufts Medical Center. It highlights the transformative role that Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) play in supporting lifelong health and resilience. HOPE reminds us that positive experiences are equally powerful to adversity in shaping futures.
The Four Building Blocks of HOPE
- Relationships – Caring bonds with adults and peers.
- Safe Environments – Secure and inclusive spaces for all.
- Engagement – Opportunities to participate and contribute.
- Emotional Growth – Support for expressing feelings and confidence.
