Better
Together Conference
Serving CHildren by Strengthening Families
Now, more than ever, those of us working with children, youth and families in Haiti need one another. Together we can strive to find ways to remain committed in a country struggling under a heavy burden of conflict.
The Better Together conference will provide a dedicated space and time to convene, share and learn over two and half days in Nashville. Workshops will be focused on topics related to supporting children in families with special emphasis on the complexity of the current context. In addition to workshops, there will be plenty of time dedicated to connecting and growing relationships.
July 20-22, 2023 Nashville, TN

No matter what sector you work in from education to economic empowerment, if your work intersects with children, youth or families in Haiti you are a part of the larger picture of support necessary for keeping children safe and ideally thriving in families. The launch of thematic working groups will take place at the conference, and the design and plans for moving forward together will be tailored to the needs of each group!
