Coaching for Parents in the Trenches:
A Systemic Change Blueprint
Become a change agent, a credible and effective voice in your state. Passion and purpose are great, but you need a plan. Learn to set achievable goals, network with stakeholders, lobby lawmakers, build a coalition and inform state agency policies and practices to better support parents raising kids affected by brain disorders, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and other complex needs.
This course will focus on six components:
Setting a Course - the plan and desired outcome
Building a Network - coalition & collaborations
Framing your Message - issue, image, and phrasing
Policy Lobby Strategy - lawmakers & politics
Bill Activism - constituents call to action
Using the Media - influencing public opinion
As a follow-up, we'll also help you find expanded advocacy training in your area to support you and grow your powerful voice.
