Parenting Black Children

Parent leadership & advocacy tRAINING PROGRAM

Our Mission is to Decrease Disparities & Increase Access to resources & information for Black/African American Families experiencing Autism & Developmental Disabilities


Problem Statement 

In the current system there is a lack of representation and leadership opportunities for parents of African-American children with developmental disabilities within the California Regional Centers for Developmental Disabilities. 


Objective

Black Voices of Empowerment - Parent Leadership & Advocacy Training Program - will provide a training program to help develop the leadership and advocacy skills of parents/caregivers so that we are equipped to lead and advocate on behalf of our family and community. 


Mission 

of the program is to decrease this disparity and to increase the access to representation and participation of Black families on boards, committees and other decision-making platforms by providing parents with the opportunity to increase their knowledge, skills and understand how to take up space as leaders and advocates in the community. 

Welcome New Parent LEADERS

Congratulations to our new class of parent leaders! Below you can find a welcome video from our founder,  Ardena Bartlett.
