Distinct contributions, practical relationship

Growing HOPE Systems Integration Map

Kimberly's working map for connecting protective experiences, positive norms, community wisdom, systems conditions, and implementation learning.

Foundation: HOPE and PCEs

Name the relationships, environments, engagement, and emotional-growth experiences people should be able to access.

Orientation: Science of the Positive

Begin with the positive that is real, present, measurable, and worth strengthening.

Narrative: Positive Community Norms

When a meaningful misperception is documented, test whether accurate local data changes it without denying real concerns. Broad norms messaging has small and uncertain average effects, so measure the mechanism before scaling.

Participation: Community Wisdom and Assets

Treat families and community members as leaders, designers, researchers, and decision-makers.

Systems Map: Watershed and Regenerative Thinking

Make upstream conditions, downstream effects, feedback, stewardship, and interdependence visible.

Practice: Growing HOPE

Translate the contributing frameworks into tools, decisions, tests, learning, adaptation, and shared ownership.
