HOPE Workshop

Discover How Positive Childhood Experiences Shape Lifelong Wellbeing

How do early experiences influence who we become—and what helps some children thrive despite adversity? The HOPE Framework (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) shows how strengthening protective factors and promoting positive childhood experiences can buffer adversity, support mental and physical health, and reduce substance use across the lifespan.

Leave with practical tools you can use immediately to help children, families, and communities thrive.

Diana Grosik (Executive Director - Circle of Support Child Advocacy Center) and Jenn Boland (Regional Prevention Programs Coordinator - The Learning Lamp) will be presenting this Behavioral Health Services of Somerset and Bedford Counties (BHSSBC) sponsored training.
