The HOPE team has launched an online course titled “H.O.P.E. (Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences)”!
Provided through the Tufts Learning Management System platform and developed in collaboration with the Education Development Center, this self-paced course offers free access to comprehensive research, based in the “Science of the Positive,” on how Positive Childhood Experiences drive healthy development and can mitigate the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences.
Through interactive modules, featuring short videos, interviews with guest experts, short quizzes, and supplemental materials, you will learn what Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences are, how they affect adult health, and how to incorporate a HOPE-informed approach to working with children, families, and communities.
The course presents background information on the health effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the research showing how key positive childhood experiences (PCEs) prevent and mitigate the effects of ACEs and toxic stress resulting in improved health outcomes. The biologic mechanisms of how PCEs affect the brain are presented. Different themes of HOPE implementation are explored, including how to use the HOPE framework to address racial and socioeconomic disparities at your organization. Upon successful completion of the course the learner will have a solid understanding of PCEs and HOPE and will be ready to begin to incorporate the framework of HOPE into their work with families.

This activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, psychologists and social workers engaged in the care of adolescent/pediatric patients.
