Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences

John Richardson-Lauve, LCSW, Senior Director of Community Outreach and Trauma-Informed Care Specialist, St. Joseph's Villa

The HOPE framework comes from research that substantiates the impact of positive experiences, particularly in childhood (PCEs- Positive Childhood Experiences), on development and outcomes across the lifespan. These positive experiences can even mitigate the impact of childhood trauma and adversity. From this research, a framework has been created to support the creation of these PCEs in a child’s life. In this workshop we will review history of PCE research, the building blocks of HOPE, and how to implement them within vaACCSES context to support those in our care.
