25th Anniversary Edition of the Making Healthful Decisions Conference
Envisioning a Culture of Community:
Supporting families and the individual needs of their children
This conference provides an update on the state of parenting, the challenges stemming from social inequities, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic that families are struggling with. Presenters will address how practicing a culture of community, especially with those often marginalized, can guide us to envision spaces that accept and support all ranges and varying needs of our bodies.
Scholarships for high school and college students and for parents or caregivers interested in attending outside of their paid employment are available thanks to the generous support from the Orange County Youth Bureau and the United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region.
