How to Talk to Your Kids about Race and Racism
Conversations on Children's Health
Virtual Event September 2020
In this courageous and powerful discussion, our child health experts discuss how to foster open dialogue with kids about race, the importance of allyship, health threats triggered by stress and trauma, and much more. Tune in for practical tips, useful resources, and uplifting ideas for these challenging times.
