Need Hope?

Find it here

It’s a scientific fact: we humans are wired for hope--literally! In fact, neuroscientists have a name for this phenomenon--”the optimism bias”--and they say it’s critical for our survival. But if being hopeful is our natural state, then losing hope is far more detrimental than most of us realize. It can hurt not only our emotional well-being, but also our physical health, especially when we’re in the throes of adversity.

Fortunately, when it comes to hope, what is lost can be found; and if you’re looking for some, you’ve come to the right place!

Why Give Hope?

Because You CAN!

Ralph Waldo Emerson may have said it best:
"It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely help another”
Emerson knew in his heart nearly 200 years ago we now know to be scientific fact. The evidence is clear: we really do help ourselves by helping others. We really do get hope by giving hope.

Give hope and the world begins looking like a much more hopeful place. Don’t take our word for it. Give it a try and see for yourself!

Message of the Month

Robert // Bipolar Disorder

"My name is Robert, and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder over ten years ago, and through education and learning about my disorder, I was able to accept my adversity and I had to deal with it. And working with professionals and being honest with myself and others allowed me that chance. So once I got in recovery and stabilized, I moved into advocacy and what I found was, not only did I help others, but also it was helping me stay in recovery and healthy and in control of my bipolar disorder.""
