Nurturing Hope in Ourselves and Others: The Science of Hope and Well-Being
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Hope is the mindset that drives resilient behaviors in everyone, including women. Hope is the expectation we have that we can identify pathways and generate the agency to attain desired goals. Research shows that hope is a psychological strength that can be nurtured and is one of the protective factors to our well-being.
This presentation and discussion with Dr. Chan Hellman—a professor of social work at the University of Oklahoma – Tulsa, the Executive Director of the Hope Research Center, and the author of Hope Rising—will introduce the science and power of hope, how trauma and adversity impact hope, and practical strategies for building resilience in individuals and communities. Dr. Hellman’s almost 20 years of research at the Hope Research Center demonstrating hope as a protective factor for children and families experiencing adversity and trauma, will be the basis for his presentation. He discovered that hope can be taught and nurtured in children and adults who are facing all types of challenges. We all need more hope in today’s world.

Based on the cult film, The Toxic Avenger is a rock musical featuring a nerd-turned-mutant-superhero out to win the girl of his dreams (a blind librarian) and stop his home state of New Jersey from turning into more of a toxic wasteland than it already is.
This award-winning macabre comedy is a perfect way to have rockin’-scary Halloween! Performed by USU voice and orchestra students in the haunted Caine Lyric Theatre, Oct. 28-31, 7:30pm. Join us if you dare...!
Content Advisory: Violence, Adult Language, Sexual Innuendo, Blood & Gore, Mature Themes, Political Incorrectness
