The Diversity Development Center invites you to attend the first in a series of Strengthening Community Trust Symposiums to take place at Marina Village Conference Center Building A, 1936 Quivira Way, San Diego, CA 92109 on July 18th and 19th, 2018.
FAMILY & YOUTH SUPPORT PARTNER MODEL
A Family and Youth Support Partner is an individual, with lived experiences in the respective system(s), who is trained and hired to help other families as a paraprofessional. We believe trust is the essence of human relationships between children, parents, families, employers, employees, members and their communities – simply stated “without trust there is no relationship”. The symposium highlights systems leaders and paraprofessionals who are early adopters on the front line of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Science systems to embrace change in their programs, practices, policies and procedures where they live, work, pray and play in the pursuit of enhanced and sustainable outcomes and deliverables.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Organizations and systems leaders including Promotoras, Cultural Brokers, Health Advocates, Youth Mentors, Credible Messengers, and others.

WHY ATTEND?
The symposium includes Feature Presentations and Workshops that highlight cross-sector solutions, develop awareness of practice-based evidence and best practices and showcase the paraprofessional model as a novel alternative for workforce development. The objective is to enhance professional and paraprofessional skills and knowledge in support of the concept that, by strengthening trust between those served and the service providers, we can enhance the outcomes and deliverables needed to build resilient families and communities.
