REAL impact survey

Taking the REAL (Racial Equity and Assessment Learning) impact survey helps researchers understand how systemic racism shows up in the lives of children and families. Please note that when people take the survey, they will be asked to identify whether these experiences are related to the public health, medical, and/or social services systems.

HOPE in faith communities toolkit

Faith communities are in a unique position to promote positive childhood experiences (PCEs) for children, youth, and families. Lifelong engagement, access to the whole family, programming, consistent contact, and outreach during traumatic times and their aftermath. The HOPE National Resource recognizes that the our values often align with various faith communities. Examples of this include: focusing on the good in people, not passing judgment on others, the importance of family and community through fellowship, and that a person’s past does not define who they are as a human being.
