This training will help early childhood and other professionals examine their own personal bias about family systems and explore how this bias can affect their ability to support children and the diverse backgrounds that they come from. Those who attend will explore different family systems, marginalization of family, as well as how to build empathy and understanding for people that they serve. They will also learn how to implement into their work, strategies to increase acceptance and connectedness.
