CPOC is excited to announce that we will be hosting five regional training events focusing on Building Hope-Centered Processes within Organizations for Serving Youth in Foster Care for probation personnel who work with foster youth as part of our ongoing CCR Training effort with Dr. Chan Hellman and Casey Gwinn, J.D. These regional events are building on the science and power of hope concepts that were provided in statewide webinars offered in May – offering a more hands-on application of the concepts. CPOC will provide five opportunities to participate in this virtual training on building hope centered processes developed for probation personnel who work with foster youth.

Hope has emerged as one of the top factors leading to well-being across the life span. Dr. Chan Hellman, PH.D. and Casey Gwinn, J.D. will present the science of Hope as a psychological strength in our ability to cope with traumatic experiences. Specifically these regional events will focus on the following:

1. How to build hope centered processes within your organization;
2. How to nurturing one’s own hope in working with trauma-exposed adolescent youth: and
3. Provide an overview of measuring ACEs and Hope – Validated Scales.

Trainings will provide an overview of the science and power of hope with a particular focus on its application and impacts for foster youth and other trauma-impacted children and teens with high Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Scores. Materials including handouts, power point presentations and recommended forms to utilize when working with foster youth will be provided.
