This 12 hour session will run the full length of the 2012 OHSAI June Conference. Participants will attend June Conference meals and General Sessions.

Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors is the nation’s first evidence-based parent leadership training program for Latino parents with children 0-5 years of age. This curriculum, delivered in ten interactive sessions, is based on popular education and draws on the real life experiences and cultural strengths of its participants. Abriendo Puertas was carefully developed and field-tested over a three-year period, evaluated and validated by leading researchers (UC Berkeley) as effective in strengthening parenting behaviors, building critical early childhood knowledge, and developing the leadership and advocacy skills of Latino parents.
This three-day course is designed for family advocates/family development specialists with experience building partnerships with parents in their programs and desire to implement a new approach to actively engage the Latino families in their program. This course is designed to fully prepare the family advocate/family development specialist to return to their programs and build lasting and fruitful relationships using this unique evidence-based comprehensive training program for low income, primarily Spanish-speaking families with children birth to 5 years old.
