Strengthening Families in a Changing Climate: Family Support in a Changing World
August 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm PDT
Along with the ongoing harmful effects of pollution in our air, water, and soil, climate change is bringing a new set of challenges to keeping kids safe that parents and child- and family-serving programs need to prepare for and respond to. In this Digital Dialogue from the Children’s Bureau Learning and Coordination Center, we will talk about how the family support field can respond and bring a family-centered lens, relational tools, and strengths-based practices to conversations about climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. Our guests will be Lisa Fujie Parks from Our Family Coalition, a San Francisco Bay Area family support program, and Kathryn Goetz from Be Strong Families, a national organization that is exploring the role the family support field can play as families deal with these evolving challenges.
