Networks
HOPE Innovation Network
The HOPE Innovation Network (HIN) is a six-month program where cohorts of organizations across child and family serving sectors are trained on the implementation of the HOPE framework. HIN members identify, test, and disseminate practices that advance the use of the HOPE framework. Each cohort works on a different area of their organization to implement the HOPE framework in existing organizational policies and procedures. For example, HIN Cohort 2 focused solely on the intake process.
Through HIN, we learn how organizations are currently practicing and how HOPE makes a difference for children, families, and staff members. Members of the network demonstrate how HOPE-informed care engages direct service providers, families, and communities in new ways that achieve better health outcomes and advance equity.

National Advisory Board
HOPE’s National Advisory Board (NAB) is a group of passionate and diverse leaders who are committed to spreading HOPE. NAB members are highly-regarded and experts from higher education, medicine, advocacy, research, families, and non-profits. Yet, they all share a common purpose of expanding access to positive childhood experiences to children and youth of all backgrounds through ongoing, collaborative partnerships between providers and families. NAB members offer their support and guidance through recommendations and thoughtful discussion about the goals, priorities, mission, and values of HOPE.

Family and Community Experts Council (FACEs)
Family and Community Experts Council (FACEs) is a group of parents, youth, and other family and community members who share a common purpose of expanding access to positive childhood experiences (PCEs) for families of all backgrounds through the ongoing, collaborative partnerships between providers and families that HOPE promotes. FACEs serves in an advisory capacity, similar to the advisory role of the National Advisory Board, and their recommendations are valued. The goal of meetings is to ensure that every Council member voices their perspective.

The value of lived expertise
At HOPE, we believe those whose lives have been most impacted by health and social systems hold the deepest wisdom on how to improve them. Their voices are not just valuable—they are essential to our understanding of complex social issues. We are committed to shifting power by ensuring that individuals with lived expertise are shaping policies, programs, and decisions that impact their families’ lives. Working at the intersection of academic knowledge, professional experience, and lived expertise, we can create a more inclusive, effective, and empathetic approach to serving children and families.
