Keynote speaker Dr. Mary Claire Heffron, will present "Growing Strong, Becoming Whole—Home Visiting in the 21st Century"
This workshop will examine and celebrate the core programmatic and individual capacities that support wellness and connection in families, young children, and community. This interactive presentation will draw from the clinical wisdom of the home visiting community, evaluation findings, and a variety of practices that are designed to help participants deepen and sustain the meaning and purpose in their work. The presentation will build from the position that communities have many assets and strengths and that home visitors work to help families discover and celebrate. The sobering realities of trauma, addiction, and inequities that impact families will also be included.
