Culturally intelligent education, training, and professional development are the key to growth in families, organizations, and communities. What we believe……
We believe that education, training, and professional development are critical to family, community, and organizational development. Professional Development
Rationale- The most critical component of success for children and families is the training, education, and development to provide evidence-based, family-centered trauma-informed programs and build staff capability to function and relate effectively in culturally different situations both domestic and international. Family-Centered
Rationale- Family-Centered care is a best practice approach to emotional, social, and academic support. Children that are living in chaotic, stressful environments, i.e., neighborhoods, physical and mental health issues of parents, and a lack of access to adequate resources are challenged to focus on growth and development
Parent Engagement
Rationale- Empowering parents as leaders, advisors, and advocates can be an asset to the community and school environment. Parents are a child’s first and best teacher. They too need professional development. They too are a critical part of the growth and development of the child. They are an excellent source of resources for fund development, professional or paraprofessional services, supportive services, and strategic planning for the growth and development of nurturing communities.
