Surviving Friendly Fire

Have you ever struggled with the dichotomy of deficit-based language while using a strength-based approach?

Join Roma Raye Everly as she leads us in an in depth and transparent dive into what it means to speak freely, clearly and compassionately using the language of the oppressor as a means of breaking down barriers without further adding harm to children and families during this very intimidating and chaotic process.

Attendees will leave the session with:

• A script for setting the tone and holding space for potentially hurtful conversations,
• Knowledge of how to state their intentions to the family and other providers, and
• Strategies from a panel of long-time ESIT providers on strength-based ways to implement the child outcome summary (COS) process.

ASL, live captioning, and other accommodations to fully participate in this webinar are available to you upon request. Please submit the Training and Event Access Support request form at least two weeks prior to the event. DYCF may not be able to fulfill requests made less than two weeks in advance.
