Strengthening Families: Concrete Support in Times of Need
2023-04-17 18:30 - 20:30
4C’s Free Virtual Training for Early Childhood Professionals
Strengthening Families: Concrete Support in Times of Need
Facilitator Liz Walker:
Promoting strong, healthy family relationships provides far-reaching benefits that go beyond the family itself. Healthy families lead to healthy children, communities, and economic prosperity. Strengthening Families Concrete Support in Times of Need will help you connect families to resources in times of need. Every family, at some point, needs support. “A time of need” can be described as the birth of a child, supporting a child with special needs, choosing the right center or school, trauma, mental illness, violence, or poverty. This session aims to educate providers on how to strengthen the family’s ability to access services and advocate for their needs. By the end of the session, providers will know how to direct families to early intervention support, and access 211, the Louisville, KY-based essential community services hotline. Lastly, after attending this session you will be able to leverage the natural strengths of a family by asking powerful positive questions upon enrollment that foster deep connections from the start!
This workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Kosair Charities Face It Movement.
