This training is a National Curriculum created in collaboration between two organizations out of Wisconsin and is designed to be customized for each individual state by organizations who have been certified in this curriculum. There are a total of 8 sections; Opportunities to Get Involved, Types of Groups, Processes Groups Use, Tools Groups Use, Tips and Strategies for Groups, Understanding Data, The Role of Families in Groups, and Skills for Serving on Groups. Many of the activities have been incorporated into other WSCC trainings as they are relevant and engaging. This curriculum is designed for a full 2-day workshop OR it can be broken up with each section designed to be able to be a stand-alone training. The length of the training is determined by how many sections are trained. Each section is 75 minutes with an added 15-minute introduction segment. This training is a strong support for groups looking to strengthen their family engagement or for groups who may have lost focus on their purpose and goals. (90-minute single section, 2 ½ hours for two sections, 8-hour workshop to include lunch and breaks for 4 sections, or two 8-hour days for full workshop)

Breaking Stigmas, Empowering Families, Creating System Change
Join us on Monday, May 5th to explore how personal stories can drive change, break down stigma, and influence policy. Participants will engage in discussions on the value of lived experience, learn how to effectively share their stories, and discover where their voices can make the biggest impact. Breakout
sessions will provide space to explore advocacy & training opportunities, while a panel of youth, parents, and system leaders will highlight real-world examples of lived experience shaping the system. By coming together, we can strengthen our collective voice and create a more inclusive and responsive behavioral health system in Washington State.
