This is a customized training from a national curriculum to support families in strengthening their tools to tell their story in a valuable and impactful way. A well-told story has the potential to touch hearts and change minds. The training can be customized to fit your time allotment. It is designed to be a 2 or 4-hour training, depending on how much time is used to work on the individual story template and discussion pieces. This training will give you some tools in how, why, and with whom you share your story and an opportunity to begin creating a template for sharing your own unique story. (2-hour mini-training or 4-hour full training)
2025 Children’s Behavioral Health Summit
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.
