Thank you for Spreading HOPE!

On April 9, the HOPE National Resource Center hosted our first annual summit! In addition to rich discussions on HOPE in various sectors, we celebrated the growing recognition of our work around the country. Just over four hundred people participated from across the U.S. and five other countries, from the health, education, child welfare, and public health sectors, including front-line providers and senior executives.

For those who joined us on April 9th, thank you for an incredible day of HOPE and discussion! To our summit workshop leaders: we can’t thank you enough for the time, effort, and expertise you brought to this summit. We hope you enjoyed Spreading HOPE as much as we did! Stayed tuned for information about the second annual HOPE Summit.
