Returning from the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) Conference feeling inspired, connected, and deeply affirmed in the work I’m doing through Sankofa Family Counseling & Wellness.
From powerful sessions on family research and practice, to meaningful conversations with fellow family life educators, therapists, scholars, and community leaders, this conference reminded me why our work matters—healthy families truly shape healthy communities.
What excited me most:
✨ Connecting with brilliant professionals who share the mission of strengthening families
✨ Learning new strategies and evidence-based approaches to bring back to my community
✨ Exploring partnership opportunities to expand Family Life Education in the Lowcountry
✨ Feeling encouraged and equipped to elevate culturally rooted, trauma-informed family programming
Being in this space reminded me that Family Life Education is not just a field—it’s a movement. And I’m committed to helping lead that movement right here in my community.
I’m excited for what’s ahead: new collaborations, community workshops, professional trainings, and expanded family support programs rooted in Sankofa—honoring the past while building a stronger future.
If you’re interested in partnering to bring impactful family education, workshops, or wellness programs to your organization, let’s connect!
