Early Relational Health & Advocacy

Applying the principles of Early Relational Health in public policy relationships

Panelists: Crystal Isabell (WA Parent Ambassadors), Rep. Debra Entenman (WA State Representative), and Sudha Nandagopal (Bend the Horizon LLC)

Moderator: Jon Gould (VP of Public Policy at Akin)

Have you ever been to a training about public policy advocacy where the trainer says, “It’s all about relationships, that’s the key to being effective”?  Whether yes or no, in this 90-minute community conversation, we’ll explore how key principles of Early Relational Health apply to building and sustaining relationships in the public policy arena, relationships with peers/fellow advocates, policymakers, and staff. We’ll explore what we can learn from and how to apply concepts such as self-awareness, reflection, and honoring culture. And, we’ll have space for you to share your successes and challenges in public policy advocacy and get some early relational health support for your advocacy journey! 

This unprecedented Community Conversation brings together a unique group, advocates all around the state of Washington, together with a current state legislator, a parent who is an advocate, and a social movement builder, all of whom apply principles of Early Relational Health in their public policy advocacy. 

There is no cost to join this event - we hope to see you there!
