The Children’s Trust Fund Alliance works with organizations and community groups interested in hosting Strategic Sharing workshops. Strategic Sharing helps parents who want to share their personal life experiences in a meaningful, focused and powerful way to influence policy and practice. This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to create and share their personal stories in a safe and supportive environment. Participants explore what it means to share their stories strategically, how to maximize credibility while sharing and what the benefits are of sharing from personal experience. You can access the flyer for this training on the CTFA website at https://ctfalliance.org/partnering-with-parents/training-and-technical-assistance/
