  • Overview of a program with years of experience being in community and with community
  • Discussion with a dynamic panel of diverse professionals providing varying perspectives on how the shift from mandated reporting to community supporting can be implemented through a collaborative effort

We will end with a “Call to Action”, encouraging family- and child-serving professionals and communities alike to make a commitment in supporting children and families to be safe, well, and thriving
