In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we're thrilled to offer a recording of our webinar on best practices for working with tribal systems in California for child and family wellbeing.

This two-part virtual event brought together experts to explore systemic challenges and community-driven healing approaches. In the first session, a panel of experts shared insights on best practices for working collaboratively with tribal systems to support children and families. Panelists: Season Goodpasture (Acorns to Oak Trees), Kimberly Cluff (California Tribal Families Association) and Twyla Dolan (Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs). Our second session focused on lived experience within the foster care system and explored approaches for positive healing. Presenter: Lenny Hayes MA (Tate Topa Consulting).
