Product Description:

This session describes two UCEDD projects that elevate the voices, lived experiences, and priorities of minoritized families to build community solutions. Black and Latino family leaders wanted to help families access services and supports, raise their voices, and co-create solutions. Community and UCEDD leaders partnered to adapt the Community Solutions for Health Equity and UC Davis CEDD Sankofa models. Participants will learn how to incubate similar community-driven projects.
