Overview

Mission

Our mission is equipping all who touch the lives of children with what they need, so they can give children what they need by providing training to caregivers. When individuals, families and communities experience trauma that goes unresolved, it can interfere with trust in relationships. By understanding trauma and its impact, shifting the mindset from "what's the matter with you?" to "what happened in your story?", exploring pathways to resolving trauma and developing everyday trauma-informed responses and connections will strengthen and support individual and community resilience. Hope Street, Inc. dba Hope & Healing JAX, addresses the effects of early adversity and relational trauma through the connecting, empowering, and correcting principles of Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) developed at Texas Christian University by Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Hope & Healing JAX delivered 138 trauma-informed training sessions to 3,192 participants across multiple regions of Florida, through both in-person and virtual delivery. Through a unified training program blending Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and Positive Discipline, we equip the adults who touch the lives of children with the knowledge, skills, and mindset shifts needed to provide safe, nurturing, and trauma-responsive care.Training sessions served a wide range of audiences, including parents, foster and adoptive parents, mentors, and caregivers; K-12 educators, counselors, and school personnel, including faculty at faith-based private schools; mental health professionals; and early childhood and preschool educators. While some sessions were tailored to specific audiences or settings, the majority drew mixed groups and delivered an integrated curriculum addressing both the principles of TBRI and the Positive Discipline framework.TBRI, developed at Texas Christian University by Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross, is a research-backed and practice-based evidence (PBE) caregiving model built on attachment research and practical relationship tools. Positive Discipline provides complementary, research-supported strategies for building belonging and guiding behavior with kindness and firmness. Together, these frameworks form the foundation of all Hope & Healing JAX programming.Funding for the Hope & Healing JAX training program is drawn from performance-based grants from Kids Hope Alliance and Partnership for Child Health, grants from other community organizations, and contracts with school districts and other organizations that commission on-site training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
