The HOPE Summit returned for another successful year
On March 8, we held our Second Annual HOPE Summit – Growing HOPE, with nearly 300 people participating. Even with the virtual platform, we had high engagement among those who attended. We had about 125 posts on the events social wall, and 85 people joined us for the networking hour after the Summit. We held 14 different workshops that covered topics from HOPE in education, communities, residency programs, primary care, and so much more.
During the main session, Robert Sege, PhD, MD, Director of the HOPE National Resource Center, discussed the State of the HOPE National Resource Center, how it has grown in research and practice, and how people have implemented the HOPE framework within their work. Wendy Ellis, DrPH, delivered a powerful keynote address, where she shared that resilience must be built, not just within a single person, but throughout the community, in policy, and in every organization that works with children and families. Dr. Ellis left us with the question “If not you, then who?”, sharing that we all must make changes in every area that serves children and families for equity to happen. Below is a highlight video from these main sessions.

Thank you for making the Summit a success! Your support helps to grow HOPE within families, communities, and throughout systems.
