Time: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm CT

Location: Zoom webinar to be shared with attendees

How do good family service programs evolve into great, beloved community resources? How can family-serving programs embody servant leadership and work towards social justice in their everyday activities? Part of the answer lies in how they engage families.

In this workshop, participants will build upon their strengths in developing and nurturing positive, healing relationships between providers and parents, explore the barriers they are encountering, and design practical solutions for overcoming these barriers. They will learn about how attending concretely to multiple dimensions of equity (political, social, economic) in everyday program practices can enhance their greatness. By better understanding how power dynamics and implicit biases can get in the way of forming working partnerships, participants will enhance their effectiveness in designing and implementing actionable, co-creative strategies for inclusive budgeting, governing, and planning with parents.

Ticket price: $199
