LUNCH-N-LEARN: How to ACTUALLY Value Lived Experience in Your Child Welfare Practice April 30, 2026

Cost: $20

Do you know what adoptees and those in foster care truly need from us? We often say we’re prioritizing lived experience (and we have the best intentions), but are we really taking the right steps?

National Training Manager and former foster youth Jamole Callahan leads an engaging webinar to help caregivers and professionals ACTUALLY value lived experience and center it in our care for children and families.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

– Name and claim lived experience vs. lived expertise
– Spot tokenism and move toward true partnership with lived experts
– Build safer, more respectful spaces for those who have been adopted or in foster care
– Strengthen lived-expert leadership and peer support
– Advance shared power and continuous improvement
