Strengthening Families Using a Racial Equity Lens

Sonoma Child Parent Institute

Online event

Join us for an important training with Dr. Jessica Price that will focus on how leaders from child and family serving organizations can work to understand and mitigate the problems of racism, marginalization, and injustice in our systems of care. Dr. Pryce makes a compelling argument that for leaders to change systems, they must practice looking inward. She implores child welfare leaders, community partners, parents, foster parents, and educators to identify their own personal philosophies, mindsets and values and how shifting those towards anti-racism will lead to true systemic change. She includes a discussion on evolutionary versus revolutionary efforts and offers strategies that lead to profound revolutionary change.
