This final event of the series has been updated: Session #4: Connection – The Essential Role of Housing Stability for Strong Families

In this pivotal fourth session of our series, we will delve into the profound relationship between housing stability and family well-being. Recognizing that safe, secure housing is foundational for fostering strong families, this workshop on the Essential Role of Housing Stability for Strong Families, will examine how power dynamics and policy decisions impact housing accessibility and stability within our communities. 

We will explore the ways in which lived experiences inform our understanding of equity and community healing, challenging us to rethink our approaches to leadership and support. 

This session aligns with the “Connection” pivot of Dr. Shawn Ginwright’s healing-centered engagement framework. We will focus on building transformative relationships that empower families, foster community resilience, and create pathways to sustainable housing solutions.

A four-part Strength & Service Series online workshop

You are invited: Join us for a new four-part series hosted through the Faith, Families and Community Partnerships Initiative — a collaboration between Lutheran Services in America and ELCA World Hunger. Built on the seminal work of scholar and practitioner Dr. Shawn Ginwright, our expert facilitators, Dr. Denicia Carlay and Shannon Scott, will guide us through the practice of healing-centered engagement. The workshop series is designed to support the application of the practice through the four dimensions or “pivots” necessary in our work to improve outcomes for children, youth, families and communities.

This workshop series is designed to support staff at any level of leadership in applying healing-centered engagement in their work. In the words of Dr. Ginwright, it takes practitioners beyond trauma-informed care responses to a “more holistic approach to fostering well-being.” Additionally, it recognizes the ways in which “trauma and healing are experienced collectively” to support improved well-being for families and communities.

Advance registration required. All four workshops are provided at NO financial cost to participants!
