There's HOPE: We're Not Alone In It

Part Two: The HOPE Framework in Action with Bernard Hennigan and Kim Manzo Glass children are really good at not asking for help. So what happens when the help finds them instead? What if the systems around a child worked like a plane with multiple engines? If one fails — the home, the neighborhood, the family — another one keeps you in the air. No crashing and burning. That's exactly what Bernard Hennigan and Kim Manzo have built in the Harford County School District in Maryland. In part two of our HOPE framework series, we see what it looks like when a school district decides that every single person — from the teachers to the counselors to the bus drivers — is one of those engines.   For more information on HOPE in Hartford County Public Schools and to view Bernard Hennigan's presentation:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SjZrNhPfjIIxmGuq11TmX7PwVwK8ne0a/view?usp=share_link   For more information about HOPE: https://positiveexperience.org/ There's a great podcast, too: https://positiveexperience.org/podcast/   Link to the New York Times article featuring Bernard Hennigan (gift article): https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/headway/childhood-trauma-recovery-healing-research.html?unlocked_article_code=1.m1A.b9j4.KTU8uFaZauRS&smid=url-share   Quick note: we discuss ACE scores.
