Lightning Talk: The Science of HOPE

Casey Gwinn, the lead author of the bestselling book, Hope Rising: How the Science of HOPE Can Change Your Life, provides a brief overview of the science of hope in this short talk. Hope is believing in yourself, believing in others, and believing in your dreams. Victim service organizations including Family Justice Centers should be focused on increasing hope in the lives of adult and child trauma survivors. It is the calling of our work.
