Presenter:
Lacey Sawyer, LCSW, LADC, CCS

Explore the impacts of poverty on individuals and families through a trauma-informed lens by engaging in reflective practice to identify positionality and privilege that contribute to the disempowerment of individuals and families. Identify ways to engage in strength-based, person-centered approaches that include the voice of those experiencing poverty in order to elevate competency and awareness, and learn ways to advocate.
