This program is presented in partnership with Connecting for Kids.

Dealing with health and education issues can be tough. This can be even harder for families that identify as Black Americans, who often deal with unequal treatment and outcomes. Do you want to learn how to overcome racial biases and find solutions for your child when working with health care providers, therapists and educators? If so, register for this two-week course that focuses on Black American families working with professionals and dealing with disparities.

The course, led by CFK's Family Education Research Analyst Nikki Montgomery, M.A., M.Ed, GPAC, is designed to be a safe space for Black American parents and caregivers of children aged 0-12 years to talk about challenges and work on solutions and will not be recorded. If you are interested in learning more about the program, register and you will be contacted by a Connecting for Kids staff member.

Participants will receive an advocacy kit with course materials.
