 od & Youth Panel\nLet’s Chat! Community Impact on Our Youth\nIn this sessi
 on\, we will discuss how a child’s environment can have a negative or posi
 tive impact in their life. We will explore how our youth feel about the co
 mmunity in which they live\, along with how having a healthy home environm
 ent can influence the trajectory of where they go in the future. We will d
 iscuss the “school-to-prison pipeline” for students who come from some env
 ironments that are unhealthy and not what we call “up to standard”. We wil
 l also explore how having positive mentors who give high expectations may 
 change a students’ and parents’ thought process and how they can help stud
 ents achieve more in life.\n\n9:50-10:35\nAlicia Holligan\nThis IS My Monk

 imes and family systems have changed! In this session\, I will be very ope
 n and sometimes raw on the challenges that parenting brings AND share with
  you the many celebrations that come alongside embracing those challenges.

 together tried-and-true strategies to assist parents in the continuum of p

 nge\nOur children are treasures not despite their challenges\, but oftenti
 mes because of them. In this session\, we will explore how we parents can 
 redefine our children’s challenges as treasures in transition. We will con
 sider the research and past experiences of some challenging children we’ve
  come to know and love.\n\n2:00-2:30\nDr. Lisa Ramirez\nClosing Keynote: D
 on’t Be a Loser--- Be a Learner!\nAs young parents teaching our children t
 o walk\, we celebrated the “baby steps”. We focused so little on the times
  our child fell because we had faith in the learning process. We understoo
 d that learning takes time and often requires failure. It is painful to wa
 tch those we love develop meaningful understanding in their own time and w
 ay. Come learn why it is important to celebrate every win and loss as a wa
 y to reframe the emotional challenge of loving our children as they naviga
 te the waters of making tough decisions.\n\n\nPlease remember to complete 
 your evaluation and turn it in. This helps the committee in planning for n
 ext year’s conference.\n\nThank you for attending the conference this year
 . It is the committee’s hope that you will walk away with new information 
 and tools to be able to celebrate with your children the family you are to
 gether.\n\n\n
