San Diego HOPE Training Hub

SPI and the YMCA have partnered to bring HOPE training directly to San Diego! In partnership with the National HOPE Resource Center at Tufts University, the trainings offered below can support you or your organization to learn more about the HOPE Framework or become a HOPE certified trainer. These trainings can help strengthen workforce across industries to provide staff resources for holistic wellbeing and health.

HOPE Introductory Training (45-60 minutes)

The first step in learning more about HOPE is to sign up for an overview through an Introductory Training session either individually, or as an organization. This training is a brief overview that introduces the HOPE Framework, and provides insight as to how HOPE can be applied within one’s own self and also day-to-day work.

HOPE 101 Training (2-3 hours)

The next step in becoming HOPE Informed is to participate in a HOPE 101 training. This more in depth training covers the following main topics:

  • The science of Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs)

  • Direct actions to implement the HOPE Framework and Building Blocks

  • How to utilize the framework as an individual and organization

Submit an interest form today, and our SPI team will reach out to learn about your needs and connect you with a facilitator or an upcoming training.

HOPE Train the Facilitator

The YMCA currently provides HOPE Facilitator trainings for individuals who would like to become trainers to spread HOPE themselves. (This role will shift to SPI in September 2025.) Register here and their team will notify you when a cohort registration in San Diego becomes available.

San Diego HOPE Network

Interested in learning more, but don’t know where to start? Become a part of the San Diego HOPE Network, which consists of public and private system partners across the county who are actively integrating HOPE. The HOPE Network map below highlights some of the partners involved and is actively expanding. Sign up to be added to the network.
