Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) Update

Robert Sege, MD, PhD

1) Describe the evidence of the long-term effects of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and their interaction with ACEs; 

2) Present the HOPE framework that links the evidence about PCEs to care transformation; 

3) Propose ways that HOPE implementation can help achieve the goals of child welfare agencies.
