HOPEFUL

Helping young women find hope where it is needed most

What is HOPEFUL?

HOPEFUL is a package of materials designed to help you become more hopeful and to experience the benefits of hope in your daily life. HOPEFUL is based on a powerful set of research-backed tools. These tools are designed to help you to learn about yourself, to grow and maintain your hope, and to move closer towards live the sort of life that feels meaningful to you. HOPEFUL has been created by working with young people and the people that support them.

HOPEFUL is currently only available to young women in The Looking Forward Project.
