Race Equity Virtual Training Series 2025 February 26, 2025

NACC envisions a future where every child, parent, and family has equitable access to justice and culturally responsive legal representation. Through this series, NACC seeks to advance children’s and parents’ rights, support a diverse community of child welfare lawyers, and advocate for equitable, anti-racist solutions designed by people with lived experience. This series aims to:

• Bridge progressive ideas around race and racism with practical skills and strategies for daily practice, both in and outside of the courtroom.
• Provide actionable tips to identify and interrupt individual, attorney, judicial, and systemic bias; practice through a culturally humble, anti-racist lens; and improve outcomes for youth, parents, and families disproportionately affected by systemic involvement.
• Promote transparent, solution-focused dialogue around race and racism in child welfare.
• Model authentic inclusion of experts with lived experience in race equity training and discussions.
