Please join Child Trends for a webinar on building and sustaining protective communities for Black children and their families. Communities play a critical role in children’s development and well-being, across all ages and developmental stages. Child Trends aims to contribute to national and local conversations about ways to ensure that Black children and families have access to communities that are protective and nurturing. Panelists will include a diverse range of perspectives—including research, policy, direct service, and advocacy voices in the fields of education, housing, health, and safety—and discuss strategies to dismantle racial inequities and build the conditions and contexts that Black children and families (and all children and families) need to thrive. Panelists will further reflect on their own visions for protective communities for Black children and families and what is required to achieve those visions.
