This training invites participants into the real work of equity — work that begins with our own identities, lived experiences, and the narratives we were taught about ourselves and others. We move beyond surface-level conversations about “culture” and “bias” and step into a deeper exploration of how identity, interpretation, and systemic patterns shape our daily interactions with children, families, and communities.

Together, we will examine how labels, assumptions, and inherited narratives influence the way we see behavior, communicate, and make decisions. We will also explore how broader systems and expectations create patterns of harm, even when our intentions are good. Through reflection, discussion, and practical strategies, participants will learn how to shift from automatic reactions to more grounded, dignity-centered responses.

This work is guided by the lived experiences and wisdom of communities who have navigated inequity for generations. Their insight serves as essential knowledge for building practices and systems that honor humanity, belonging, and cultural context.

Kamy Howard, MSW, LCSW

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Reflect on how identity, lived experience, and inherited narratives shape our interpretations and responses in early childhood and community-based environments.
  2. Recognize how systems, policies, and expectations create or reinforce inequities, and identify where these patterns show up in everyday practice.
  3. Apply practical, culturally grounded strategies to interrupt harmful narratives, strengthen relationships, and create environments where children and families experience dignity and belonging.
  4. Identify how labels and assumptions impact children and families, and practice shifting toward more affirming, context-aware approaches.

Join us for: Changing the Narrative on Mental Health and Suicide

 


Thursday, September 10, 2026

12:00 PM - 2:00 PM CST | 2 CEHs | Pay-What-You-Can

Talking about mental health and suicide can be uncomfortable and uncertain topics that bring up different perspectives, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes in people. Changing the Narrative on Mental Health and Suicide is a conversation that empowers participants to change their perceptions of mental health towards hope and resilience.  The presentation will share ways of being intentional in the words we use and ways we talk about mental health and suicide in order to avoid sensationalizing the issue and prevent alienating individuals, which can cause a decrease in help-seeking behavior, and to prevent glamorizing suicide.  Healthy conversations about mental health and suicide avoid harmful messages that may increase suicide risk or undermine suicide prevention goals.  By doing this safely,1. we reduce stigma, mitigate risks, promote help seeking, and respect all individuals.
