This training (offered via instructor-led module and/or virtual blended),  facilitated by Jodie Dailey, LCSW, MLIS & Felicia Loring, MS, is a four-part series on diversity and inclusion for early childhood home visitors and parent educators. It includes video segments from motivational speaker Liz Nead and open, facilitated conversations designed to help participants learn about themselves and others, develop empathy and make sense of the diversity in our everyday lives.

How Registration for a Conversation Café works:

How Registration for a Conversation Café works:

Home visiting professionals who register for one (or all 3) of the Virtual Conversation Café Trainings are manually added (by Mona Scott) to the MOD603 Intro to Diversity and Inclusion online self-paced training as a pre-work assignment before attending the one of Conversation Café(s).  The Virtual Conversation Café offerings are delivered via zoom.

Mona usually waits until about a week before the virtual blended training to enroll the attendees in the Introduction Video Course so that the content is top of mind when the attendees log-in to participate in the virtual Conversation Café(s).

You can register you and/or your staff for our upcoming session(s) here: https://ahvnti.thinkific.com/pages/virtual-blended-training-calendar
