Event Details
Even when intention is not malicious, bias can have a profound negative effect on the well-being of our colleagues and the people we serve in public health practice.
The January session of Hot Topics in Practice will share how organizations can help address racial bias using the “Racial Justice Competency Model for Public Health Professionals” that will be available from the Public Health Training Centers (PHTC).
This one-hour webinar will support public health professionals in advocating for and implementing the Racial Justice Competency Model, while showing how creating a sense of belonging can be central in your efforts. This presentation is intended to help you understand the Racial Justice Competency Model, how it came to be, future plans for the model, and how your organization can eventually put it into practice to better serve your organization, partners, and communities.
Addressing racial bias and creating a sense of belonging must be intentional and woven into everyday practices. Register today to learn how.

Buffering Intergenerational Trauma: Child Well-Being and Community-Based Resilience is scheduled for Tuesday, February 1, kicking off (virtually) at 10:00 a.m. PST.
We are thrilled to present developmental scientist Dr. Kandace Thomas as the featured speaker. Passionately committed to her work at the intersection of research, policy, and practice in the field of early childhood and infant mental health, her focus is squarely on racial and social justice. Dr. Thomas is nationally recognized for her innovative work in child development, diversity-informed practice, and mindfulness. She brings an array of strength and community-based research and practices to support children and families – and those who work with them.
We are delighted that Dr. Benjamin Danielson, uncommon community leader and pediatrician extraordinaire, will join our gathering once again. We look forward to Dr. Ben’s keen ability to help us examine this time we are collectively experiencing. Dr Ben will offer thoughts regarding a focus on community abundance rather than only deficits and scarcity. He’ll lead a panel from the community to share their insights and examples of community-centered practices that promote resilience. They include Shivon Brite from Empire Health Foundation, Keoki Kauanoe from Family Education & Support Services, and Dr. Kristina Lovato from California State University.
Attendees will come away inspired and equipped with tools, practices, and strategies for facilitating healing and building resilience. We can’t wait to welcome you to this year’s gathering on February 1!

This 90 minute interactive SSIR Live! webinar will address this how our sector can accelerate BIPOC executive leadership development by analyzing an often overlooked factor in the dominant model of leadership development: the expectation that organizations develop talent on their own, in an ad hoc manner, and with an individualistic framework.
This 90 minute interactive SSIR Live! program will:
• Explore the critical need in the social sector to develop the next generation of BIPOC executive leaders
• Present an innovative new model to do so that has already produced game-changing results in the Bay Area
• Share the key design elements of this collaborative and cohort-based approach
• Contextualize these insights for program participants to apply in their own communitiesPresented by Curtis Chang, Adriana Caldera Boroffice, and Regina Williams

This portion of the training is designed to educate parents, service providers, and others about sibs’ ever-changing issues across the lifespan.

Our frontline community health center and community-based organizations embody the spirit of “Adelante” – optimism, grit, resilience, and compassion. This year’s theme is dedicated to all of our frontline colleagues, the workforce that kept our families informed, safe, and optimistic of the healthy and just world we are striving toward.
