Part of the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) commitment to equity as stated in “Equity in Action: Prioritizing and Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities " 

 The conference was the first federally sponsored national meeting addressing inequities within the human service delivery system and serves as the nation’s leading educational equity event for practitioners, advocates, and researchers within the field.  1,500 in-person and virtual participants join for a series of knowledge and skill-building sessions, building powerful collaborative networks to promote and enhance the implementation of equitable policies and practices that will benefit children and families.  

 In partnership with CT Children's Alliance we provide a free event designed by parents for parents and parent leader allies from across the state. It is an opportunity for parents to come together to network while they learn and grow together.
