National Children's Day - They Deserve Our Best,

About the event

National Children’s Day in the USA is Sunday, June 12, 2022.  Connect All and partners has a free virtual training on Friday, June 10, 2022.   The theme and focus of the day is, "They Deserve Our Best:  Doing our best to take care of ourselves, which includes, doing our best to take care of them."  Our lives are interconnected.  We can't do the best for ourselves, unless we are doing our best for every child, adolescent, young adult, and innocent; and we can't do our best for them, unless we are doing out best to take care of ourselves.  This training day both unpacks that, and gives the logical foundation, and the framework, to live it out.

Why should you sponsor?

While not a large event, we have registrants from:

- Over half the USA states, and also two other countries. (There is also the unknown of those who didn't enter their location).  

- Providers from diverse child service fields (e.g. educators, behavioral health, medical), and non.

It will benefit every child each registrant will impact.
