This session will provide information on how we can dramatically improve health and resilience today and future generations of communities and families.

Quality care and access for special populations and communities is essential yet remains a challenge for many today. During this webinar, the presenter will share and define who are special populations, the challenges of health access for these populations, and what factors contribute to systems that are meant to ensure quality care for all.

In an era of heightened uncertainty and shifting landscapes, nonprofit and social sector leaders face increasing challenges. This session will discuss hope science, an evidence-based framework that strengthens resilience and well-being, to help leaders strategically navigate obstacles, maintain focus on their goals, and cultivate innovative pathways for sustainability.
