The HOPE – Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences – framework adds insights to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. This link between HOPE and child abuse and neglect prevention was celebrated last month at a national convening of EndCAN. The goal of the one day meeting of national experts and stakeholders was to create a communications plan to decrease child abuse and neglect. The group broadly endorsed the importance of positive childhood experiences. The HOPE framework will be an integral part of the EndCAN campaign.
Christina Bethell and I, HOPE Director Dr. Sege, received the 2022 Richard Krugman award for our work identifying the importance of positive childhood experiences. We accepted this award together at an informal dinner. When citing our work, Dr. Krugman commented that Dr. Bethell and I had established the importance of positive childhood experiences and opened the field of adverse child experiences and trauma informed care to include positive, as well as adverse, childhood experiences.
