We provide a range of professional development and skill building for school-based and community-based staff working directly with families.
We say Family Liaisons, but the support is for all front-line staff working every day to support and engage families. This includes Family Liaisons, Family Advocates, Family Outreach Workers, Family Engagement Specialists, Family Case Workers, Resource Navigators, Family Support Advocates, Parent Partners, Parent Ambassadors, Community Liaisons, Family Services Assistants, and more!
The foundation of support is the Family Liaison Community Network which provides opportunities for both school and community-based family liaisons and navigators to learn and find support from each other.
Additionally, We offer ongoing and one-off skill building workshops, often in English and Spanish, including:
- Six-week Training Series on Planning and Facilitating Meetings developed specifically for Family Liaisons
- Train the Trainer workshops on a variety of topics, such as Understanding and Talking to Your Children about Cannabis or Opioids
- Mental Health First Aid
- Facilitating Parent Cafes
