Abriendo Puertas

Abriendo Puertas is a 10-session program available in Spanish and English, that promotes school readiness, family well-being, and parent advocacy. During the sessions we address several aspects of early childhood development (cognitive, language, physical, and socio-emotional) and brain development, early literacy, good health, early math, the positive use of technology, the transition to Kindergarten, parent leadership and advocacy.

Abriendo Puertas is an evidence-based parent leadership and advocacy program that was created by and for Latino parents who have children ages 0-5. The program was designed and developed in partnership with Latino parents to ensure that their values, concerns, and culture are closely integrated into the content.

We need your feedback!
Please take the following survey.

The Family Empowerment and Disability Council invite you to respond to an annual evaluation survey on family empowerment center (FEC) activities.

FECs are funded by the California Department of Education to provide services to families with children with disabilities who are between the ages of 3 and 22 to ensure that parents, guardians, and families of children and young adults with disabilities have access to accurate information, specialized training, and peer-to-peer support. This survey asks questions about information, training, and support that you have received from your family empowerment center (SFCD).

Families Partnering in Research for
Children’s Health and Health Equity

This module explains why health research, particularly patient centered comparative effectiveness research, is important to improve healthcare for children experiencing health disparities. Families of color feel disconnected from and untrusting of medical research. Transforming Research as Usual (TRU) introduces the voices of families, patients and communities to research through Community Advisory Boards (CAB). CABs prioritize community needs to promote equitable research.
