Strengthening Families in a Changing Climate: Family Support in a Changing World

Lisa Fujie Parks, Parent Organizer and Board Co-Chair, Our Family Coalition
Kathryn Leigh Goetz, President & CEO, Be Strong Families

Along with the ongoing harmful effects of pollution in our air, water, and soil, climate change is bringing a new set of challenges to keeping kids safe that parents and child- and family-serving programs need to prepare for and respond to. In this Digital Dialogue, we talk about how the family support field can respond and bring a family-centered lens, relational tools, and strengths-based practices to conversations about climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. Our guests are Lisa Fujie Parks from Our Family Coalition, a San Francisco Bay Area family support program, and Kathryn Goetz from Be Strong Families, a national organization that is exploring the role the family support field can play as families deal with these evolving challenges.
