Join us as we lead interactive discussions and guided activities on how to:

• Use quantitative and qualitative data with an equity lens to identify and describe a community’s strengths, needs, challenges, and issues related to specific CORE Conditions and Impact Statements.

• Describe inequities in ways that make a compelling case for your program, without reinforcing harmful stereotypes or assumptions about the population you intend to serve.

• Identify and describe community strengths or assets that your program can build upon to help address inequities in well-being.
