SUMMARY:Lessons From Within Our Reach: A Cross-Sector Conversation on Child and Family Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Register Now				\n							\n		This virtual convening is: \n\nTuesday\, Nov. 4 from noon-3 p.m. ET\nWednesday\, Nov. 5 from noon-3 p.m. ET\n\nJoin us for a powerful\, cross-sector conversation rooted in the latest lessons from the Within Our Reach report on preventing child maltreatment fatalities from maltreatment. \nOver two half days\, this interactive virtual convening will bring together professionals from pediatric care\, juvenile justice\, child welfare\, law enforcement\, education\, and community-based organizations to reflect on what’s working—and what must change—to create systems that are responsive\, equitable\, and family-centered. These leaders and lived experts reflect the truth that family wellness is not the responsibility of one system alone—it is a shared\, community-wide commitment that calls for aligned action\, empathy\, and investment across many touchpoints in a family’s life. \nWith a focus also on building a shared safety culture\, we will explore how systems can shift their thinking and action to proactively support families before a crisis occurs. Participants will explore how policy change\, lived experience\, and community-driven strategies can prevent child harm\, reduce family barriers to wellness\, and build trust across sectors. \nTakeaways\n\nBuild a Shared Safety Culture: Learn how integrating safety-focused mindsets within and across agencies—alongside staff wellness—can reduce system-driven trauma and better support family resilience.\nExpand the Definition of Family: Examine how elevating the lived voices of fathers\, grandparents\, kin caregivers\, and youth leads to policies and practices that reflect real-life caregiving networks.\nStrengthen Cross-Sector Collaboration: Gain concrete tools for breaking down silos and strengthening interagency partnerships to better coordinate supports for families\, especially in moments of vulnerability.\nAdvance Equity Through Policy & Practice: Explore key policy strategies\, such as reducing family financial burdens and embedding protective factors in service delivery\, that help stabilize and empower families.\nTranslate Report Lessons into Local Action: Leave with actionable ideas\, data-informed decision-making\, and equity-aligned investments that can be applied at the local\, state\, or system level.\n\nPresenters\nTuesday\, Nov. 4 \n\nRomero Davis\, senior director of practice excellence\, Social Current\nKelly Martin\, director of practice excellence\, Social Current\nKimberly Heard\, senior program manager of practice excellence\, Social Current\nJody Levison-Johnson\, PhD\, president and CEO\, Social Current\nMichael Cull\, PhD\, associate director\, Center for Innovation in Population Health and associate professor\, Department of Health Management and Policy\, University of Kentucky\nKaren Johnson\, senior director of Change in Mind\, Social Current\nKara Georgi\, MSEd\, lead senior associate of parent partnerships\, Children’s Trust Fund Alliance\nRegina Dyton\, MSW\, consultant\, R.S.
