Hello Quality Caregiving Community!
I want to share Resilient Georgia's Four Building Blocks of HOPE handout with you.
These building blocks of HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) include:
- Relationships: nurturing, supportive relationships (parents/caregivers, adults outside of the family, peers).
- Environment: safe, stable, and equitable environments to live, learn, and play in (home, school, community).
- Engagement: social engagement to develop a sense of connectedness.
- Opportunities: for social and emotional development.
These four building blocks can facilitate Positives Childhood Experiences (PCEs) that buffer against the negative life-long effects of ACEs.
How are these building blocks being fostered in your community?
