Research tells us that hope is the single best predictor of a person\u2019s ability to thrive and flourish. People who have hope are more productive at work, they are higher achievers, attain higher academic success and they are healthier, with lower rates of depression and PTSD.<\/p>\n

In fact, researchers are able to define and measure the individual components of hope \u2014 at an individual-level, organizational-level and community-level.<\/p>\n

In June, Hope Thurston, in partnership with Saint Martin\u2019s University, The Evergreen State College, South Puget Sound Community College, Thurston Thrives, Community Foundation of South Puget Sound, Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney\u2019s Office, Thurston Chamber Foundation and Dr. Chan Hellman from the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa, will measure, analyze and establish a Thurston County \u201cHope Score.\u201d This data will inform the development of strategies to improve social determinants of health in alignment with the Thurston Thrives framework.<\/p>\n

As part of the survey process, Hope Thurston plans to educate the community about hope and what Hope Theory is and how it works, and they will share the idea that hope is contagious.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make Thurston County a \u2018hope informed\u2019 community.\u2019 That will lead to a hopeful culture \u2014 because we know that when people have a strong sense of connection to community they have a higher likelihood of being hopeful. It is a social give we give to each other,\u201d said Thurston County Prosecutor Jon Tunheim, one of Hope Thurston\u2019s founders.<\/p>\n

The community is invited to attend the launch celebration of Hope Thurston\u2019s \u201cMake Thurston County A Hope Informed Community\u201d survey on June 26 at 8 a.m. at South Puget Sound Community College Lacey Campus. The event will include a breakfast. There is no cost to attend, but organizers ask attendees to RSVP here.<\/p>\n
