Community workshop on equity and child resilience in Miami

The Children’s Trust held a virtual community workshop, in concert with other agency partners, titled the IDEAS Synergy Event 2020, with a diverse group of 130 early childhood experts, from community agencies to interdisciplinary researchers and leading provider systems. The June 11 event began a community conversation about equity, key factors, and developing evidence to guide practices and policies.  Video of the sessions is available on the event website .
