Presentation Deck

This roundtable conversation is on developing practices that are responsive to families and focused on parent leadership, and the equitable considerations that come to light when bringing parents to the table.

In the prenatal-to-three space, families who would most benefit from new practices or interventions are seldom genuinely involved in co-creating systemic solutions. In this webinar, our presenters will discuss the concept of equity as a central focus of authentic parent collaboration and leadership. To best realize equity-focused practices for family and parent leadership, systems and organizations must set intentional goals for increasing access, removing barriers, and ensuring accountability and community safety.
