*This program is hosted by our members, Youth and Families Forward, who has extended an invitation to PNY members.*
Youth and Families Forward invites its members and friends to join leading advocates for a critical discussion on how New York is reconceiving child safety and family wellbeing through community-driven solutions and advocacy.
Panelists will reflect on federal and local policy shifts, discuss a variety of interconnected transformative efforts underway, and offer insights into the path forward for sustained progress in supporting children and families. The conversation will highlight how local efforts—including efforts to resource community-driven solutions and mitigate the overreach of harmful systems—are transforming the role of communities in promoting child safety and family wellbeing.
