Kids at Hope

This course not only provides a scholarly analysis, but also adds to the general discussion about hope, and how it can translate into a strategy for every human service agency, department, organization, or system including Criminal Justice, Juvenile Justice, behavioral health, child welfare, youth development and Social Services – or anyone who works with youth and children.

What People Are Saying about This?
This is phenomenal research and much-needed perspective when working with “at-risk” individuals.
It just renews and refreshes my own hope for the youth when I start to feel weary.
It really impacted me to realize that without hope, others can’t see their way out of a crisis, or think about any kind of future where a crisis isn’t there. Wonderful presentation!” — Sheila
Love the widespread applicability of the HOPE message. This can be applied in all circumstances once the foundation for this is understood and believed by the adults helping youth today. Thank you for the great content!!
I think Rick Miller’s courses and seminars are always inspirational and enlightening. Thank you for that Mr. Miller. I and our organization continue to follow him and his Kids at Hope Program
It really came together when Rick stated that you need to broaden the engagement. Engage the “village, not just the sector.” … I believe that it will certainly change the trajectory for youth justice.
I love the model of focusing on the future: Looking at mental health and human relationships and connection to embark on change or improvement.
The entire thing was valuable from start to finish! So enlightening and inspirational! Thank you so much!
