Tools for Professionals
Practical resources developed by our team of child development, trauma, and play therapy experts — designed to strengthen your practice, deepen your knowledge, and transform how you show up for the children and families you serve.
A Way of Being with Children
The cornerstone of our approach. This practical, research-based manual equips teachers, parents, clinicians, and caregivers with the attitude, knowledge, and skills to foster positive caregiver-child relationships — grounded in trauma-informed care and the HOPE framework.
A Public Health Approach to Fighting ACEs
This landmark document identifies opportunities for a community and cross-sector response to the ACEs public health crisis in Palm Beach County — showing how childhood adversity correlates to violence, substance abuse, chronic disease, and workforce challenges, and charting a path toward a HOPE-informed community.
