Benefits Navigation & Client Advocacy

This event offers an exciting day of problem-solving and information-sharing. Come for the day and you will leave with a new lens: able to take at least ONE critical action to improve your agency’s services; inspired to advocate for ONE policy that will help you more effectively deliver services; and armed with an action plan for engaging at least ONE program participant in learning new ways to advocate for themselves. Lunch is included with registration.

Keynote Speaker, Mike Green, of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute and the Denver Foundation, brings a fresh perspective to the work with vulnerable populations. In Mike’s view, human services clients are community assets to be leveraged for the good of all; not broken people whose deficits need to be ‘fixed’. He presents a positive, heartening view of human service work that can make a real difference in the lives of workers and clients alike.

You will:

  • Learn new and useful resources to share with co-workers and other participants. 
  • Meet others who can help you be most the ‘most effective you’.
  • Leave renewed in our shared networks’ ‘power of together’.
  • Discuss ways in which non-profits can speak up about the issues confronting them.
  • Gain more self-advocacy tools. Identify key strategies to engage elected officials and other decision-makers with your issue.

Eligible for 6 hours CEU.
