Join a long-standing HFA site to learn about the ways they have approached standard five since the 8th edition Best Practice Standards were released. The presenters will share strategies, ideas, resources and lessons learned from both successes and challenges while engaged in this work. Are you struggling with just getting started? Or have you had a successful accreditation and wonder “now what?” This insights for impact session will answer those questions as attendees will: *be provided with tips and tools to go beyond the surface in creating environments where staff and families feel they belong and can contribute as valued members of the group, *participate in discussion on the sneaky ways resistance may show up in leaders, staff members (including ourselves) and families, and *receive communication tips for discussing standard five requirements in a constructive way.
