Mission

OUR MISSION IS EQUIPPING ALL WHO TOUCH THE LIVES OF CHILDREN WITH WHAT THEY NEED, SO THEY CAN GIVE CHILDREN WHAT THEY NEED. WHEN INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE TRAUMA THAT GOES UNRESOLVED, IT CAN INTERFERE WITH TRUST IN RELATIONSHIPS. BY UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA AND ITS IMPACT, SHIFTING THE MINDSET FROM "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?" TO "WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR STORY?", EXPLORING PATHWAYS TO RESOLVING TRAUMA AND DEVELOPING EVERYDAY TRAUMA-INFORMED RESPONSES AND CONNECTIONS WILL STRENGTHEN AND SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE. HOPE STREET ADDRESSES THE EFFECTS OF EARLY ADVERSITY AND RELATIONAL TRAUMA THROUGH THE CONNECTING, EMPOWERING, AND CORRECTING PRINCIPLES OF TRUST BASED RELATIONAL INTERVENTION (TBRI) DEVELOPED AT TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY BY DRS. KARYN PURVIS AND DAVID CROSS.
