HOPEful Conversations about Child Development
Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) drive healthy child development and lessen the lifelong effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The HOPE framework centers around the Four Building Blocks of HOPE, or key types of positive childhood experiences that all children need to thrive. Using the HOPE framework, organizations, communities, and individuals can make changes to practices, policies, and programming to ensure that children and families have access to PCEs.
In each podcast episode of HOPEful Conversations about Child Development, hosts Robert Sege, MD, PhD, Director of the HOPE National Resource Center, and Baraka Floyd, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University, interview leaders in child health and development to learn more about how to support families in creating PCEs for their children.
Featured podcast guests include:
- Bruce Perry, MD, PhD, child psychiatrist and New York Times Best Seller
- Nadine Burke Harris, MD, MPH, FAAP, award winning pediatrician, researcher and public health leader and California’s first ever Surgeon General
- Javiera Brierley Vera, MD, family medicine physician and faculty member at Pontifica Universidad Cattolica de Chile, and HOPE Champion Flavia Maccio
- Jason Deen, MD, pediatrician and professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington
