Webinar Wednesday: Perspectives on Poverty
Presented by Dr. Jyll Walsh, Assistant Director, Positive Childhood Alliance Georgia, Georgia State University
Any professional working with children and families can attest to witnessing the detrimental impacts of poverty, yet very few have ever had any formal training or education on it. This training will help professionals remove barriers, improve practices, and promote better communication and relationships with vulnerable families. Using first-hand stories and perspectives, participants will learn the facts, underlying myths, examine their own perceptions, and be able to enact tangible strategies to uplift our community’s vulnerable populations.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore definitions, types, and roots of poverty as well as other factors associated with poverty
- Understand communication styles of people in poverty
- Identify strategies to best service those experiencing poverty
