Hope Centered Organization Webinar for CEOs
A hope-centered organization is one that intentionally fosters hope—defined as the belief that the future can be better and that individuals and teams have the power to make it so—through its mission, culture, leadership, and everyday practices. A hope-centered organization applies the cognitive model of hope (goals, pathways, and agency) across all levels of its structure: from how it supports clients to how it empowers staff and defines success.
Rather than simply reacting to problems or managing crises, hope-centered organizations are goal-directed, future-focused, and strength-based. They create relationally safe and motivating environments where people—both staff and clients—can envision meaningful goals, identify strategies to pursue them, and build confidence in their ability to succeed.
While the journey is not necessarily linear nor prescriptive, the below roadmap identifies the components to becoming a Hope Centered Organization. Dr. Chan Hellman has proposed to create a local Multi-Agency Collaborative of 5-10+ organizations to go through the process together to significantly reduce the cost. Entities who participate in this model will experience an estimated 85% cost savings.

More than 50 different agencies formed and lead the Clallam Resilience Project alongside community members.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) offers the Four R’s as a helpful way to think about trauma informed care:
“A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed
realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;
recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.”
