SMART Center 2021 Virtual Speaker Series - Ilene Schwartz, Ph.D., BCBA-D & Ginger Kwan

The school mental health supplement to the Northwest MHTTC is excited to co-sponsor the UW SMART Center's 2021 Virtual Speaker Series. Originally a series of in-person events, we have moved these presentations to a virtual format due to COVID-19.


Join us on Wednesday, April 7th from 8:30 - 9:45am for a presentation by Ilene Schwartz, Ph.D., BCBA-D & Ginger Kwan of Open Doors for Multicultural Families who will present: "Using a Racial Equity Theory of Change (RETOC) to Facilitate Collaboration Between University Researchers and a Community Based Organization".
 

Open Doors for Multicultural Families and the Haring Center for Inclusive Education have been working together to increase the capacity of programs and provides to meet the needs of diverse children and families who have disabilities.  Recently we have worked through a process to create a joint Racial Equity Theory of Change (RETOC).  In this presentation we will share how this collaboration between a community based organization (CBO) and a university-based program came to be and what we do to support this partnership. We will also introduce the RETOC process and share the results of our process.

Objectives:

  • Participants will become familiar with the RETOC process
  • Participants will increase their knowledge of variables that support the collaboration between CBOs and university-based organizations.

*Clock Hours are Available!*

Please note: This event will be limited to 500 attendees. Access to the live event will be available to registered participants on a first come, first serve basis. To secure a spot, we invite you to log on 5 - 10 minutes prior to the event.
