Indiana Youth Institute's 2024 Advancing Equity Summit

Tuesday, May 7 2024 Advancing Equity Summit

This year, the Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) is highlighting the topic of “healthy kids” and your power as youth workers to protect, inspire, and transform their lives. All children should have equitable access to the social connections, safe spaces, and services that contribute to healthy development.    

• Building Life Skills Through Play: An Equity Issue
• Missed and Misdiagnosed: The Equity Issues at the Heart of Teen Neurodivergence Diagnoses
• Nature as a Protective Factor for Youth Equity
• The Intersection of Mental Health and Race in Youth
• Social Belonging: Where Science Meets Practice
• Understanding Racism's Impact on Child Development
   

The 2024 Advancing Equity Summit is a great way to fulfill professional education requirements. IYI has received pre-approval for up to 6 Continuing Education Hours at no extra cost through the following: 

• Indiana Library Education Unit (LEU)
• IDOE Professional Growth Points (PGP)
