This interactive webinar will introduce the science of hope as a practice model for trauma-informed practice. Participants will learn how implementing evidence-driven strategies that nurture and restore hopeful thinking can increase well-being outcomes. \nParticipants will be able to assess their own hope and use question prompts to examine how the loss of hope may impact workforce\, client\, and community outcomes. Additionally\, participants will have an opportunity to build strategies for nurturing hope. They will be able to examine practice from the science of hope and have immediate tools and knowledge they can use to adapt their thinking about the work and their skills. \nThis session is guided by global research on hope as a positive psychological and cognitive trait. Specifically\, the presentation will feature the research team’s work at the Hope Research Center at the University of Oklahoma. Evidence from this research has guided the implementation of the hope-centered and trauma-informed framework. \nTakeaways\n\nPromising practices from the science of hope\nHow the science of hope can be applied to action to alleviate burnout and trauma\nDescribe how organizations can create belonging and safety internally\nNew strategies that address belonging from a lens of cultural humility\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nLaw enforcement\nCorrections\nPublic safety officers\nStaff at community-based organizations\nSocial Workers\nCommunity members\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenter\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n \n Director of Practice Excellence\nSocial Current \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n Director of Practice Excellence\nSocial Current \n \n Romero Davis is a director of practice excellence at Social Current.
