Our CEO & Chief Hope Officer, Kathryn Goetzke, developed the Five Keys to Shine Hope™ framework based on her own experiences with hopelessness, her 20 years of attending conferences learning from global mental health experts, and her deep desire to help others. Kathryn attended conferences at the World Health Organization, Kennedy Forum, World Bank, United Nations, and more, and conducted focus groups globally to understand the underlying mechanisms needed to grow hope in individuals. Her pilot curriculum, Hopeful Minds, was recognized as an innovation by the World Bank.
