HOPE es un movimiento que busca cambiar la forma en que los profesionales que interactúan con los niños y las familias brindan atención. Este nuevo enfoque es más eficaz, busca la participación activa de las familias y trabaja para evitar la perpetuación de sistemas racistas. Al final de esta sesión, podrá enumerar tres categorías de experiencias infantiles adversas, explicar dos mecanismos biológicos de resiliencia, generar ideas sobre al menos una forma de promover el acceso a bloques de construcción, ¡y más! Visualizamos un mundo que reconoce, honra y fomenta las experiencias positivas como fundamentales para la salud y el bienestar de las personas, alejándose de los enfoques que simplemente detectan los déficits.
