The Hopeful Mindsets for Veterans Facilitator Guide provides in-depth lessons, making it easy for anyone to lead the 8-module group Hopeful Mindsets for Veterans course seamlessly.This program is built on scientific evidence demonstrating the role hope plays in reducing these risks while helping to equip veterans with the skills to navigate challenges of readjustment (e.g., housing, employment, socialization).Each module has approximately 50 minutes worth of content and takes veterans through the Five Keys to Shine Hope framework which teaches veterans to measure their hope, proactively manage stress, identify and amplify their strengths, set achievable goals, build strong connections, and grow their hope. Throughout the course, Veterans work to write their Shine Hope Story, a personal narrative designed to solidify their learnings and provide a tangible resource to inspire ongoing growth. Veterans track their progress through Hope Scores-an evidence-based measure of hope that is assessed at the beginning and end of the program.The Hopeful Mindsets for Veterans program is accompanied by a Workbook for veteran participants (sold separately).The program is also available for bulk license to be distributed to entire organizations, communities, or cities.
