Family Voices Talk

As protests intensified on the streets of our cities, people similarly carried conversations, reflections, and action into all settings of life, such as homes, workplaces, churches and communities. During a weekly Family-to-Family Health Information Center (F2F) and Family Voices state affiliates call with family leaders from over 40 states and territories, we collectively paused amidst active planning of how to support children with special healthcare needs and their families, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to mourn, cope, and reflect. The discussion was raw, honest, and emotional. While many questions were asked and reflections shared, the key question that arose was how we protect our Black children and families and how we can build an anti-racism network of families.
