FAQ

  • What do you mean by lived experience?

    Every individual is continuously shaped by experiences in life. We often focus on these experiences in childhood because that is a time that our brains and bodies are dramatically impacted by the specific experience. These experiences are often referred to as positive childhood experiences, or PCEs, and adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs. These experiences and how they impact health and overall well-being serve as the foundation of our educational sessions and workshops.

  • What does HOPE stand for?

    HOPE is an acronym for Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences. It is a framework that was developed by a team at Tufts University in collaboration with other researchers and organizations. You can learn more by visiting the HOPE website, or by contacting us.

  • Who should participate?

    Workshops or intro sessions benefit anyone. Every person is impacted by lived experiences from a personal and/or professional aspect. From an organizational or professional standpoint, our sessions suit healthcare teams, social workers, educators, juvenile justice teams, childcare providers, and many other sectors. Our sessions help to build team morale, increase support for colleagues, and enhance fulfillment from a personal and/or professional standpoint.

  • What is the cost?

    Costs vary based on a variety of factors as each educational session or training is tailored to meet your needs. Contact us to request a quote.
