Highlights of The International Day of Hope 2023
On May 1st, in partnership with Walmart, we hosted an incredible group of speakers to advocate for why we need to elevate Hope Science, and make the call for?International Day of Hope. It was an awe-inspiring day, with so many incredible stories, great science, and inspiring speakers. We created an under 8 minute recap (major feat!), and encourage you to take a look for the latest and greatest on all things hope.
Strides for Peace Event
We had an incredible time joining the?@stridesforpeace?and their race against gun violence last June 3rd, 2023 at Grant Park. All got to paint a #ShineHope?sunflower mural, talk about solutions, and celebrate community.
As hopelessness is the single predictor of violence, we could not be more grateful and proud to be back in the city to bring solutions. We must be taught what hopelessness is, and how to proactively manage it to get to hope.

How do you teach kids about hope? - Motherly
We’ve recently published an article on how to teach kids about hope on?Motherly. Every mother wants what’s best for her child, but anxiety, depression and loneliness in kids are at an all-time high. Hopelessness is the single consistent predictor of suicidal ideation and completed suicide, which is every parent’s worst nightmare. Hopelessness is also linked to many other negative outcomes, such as mental illness, violence, and chronic health conditions. But how do you give someone hope?
Hope is not merely a wish. It is a powerful concept that involves envisioning a positive future and taking inspired actions to bring that vision to life.
If you’d like to learn more on how you can activate hope in your city, community, workplace, or school, be sure to reach out. We love talking about all things ‘how’ to hope!
Thank you for reading until here. I am grateful for all of your support on hope.?
