OK Turning Point Council

This Saturday is an open MATF Meeting with a question and answer time as well as 2 minute public comment opportunities for 15 minutes. (So 7 people can share or ask questions). Please don't forget that registration is required to join the session. https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B1D2QlB6Tie3NQyj3VrgKA

This is a webinar so be sure to join between 9am and 9:45am so we can set you up as a panelist so you can speak during the meeting. You may turn off your camera and microphone until just before 10am so we won't have technical difficulties. A post can be found on the Oklahoma Family Network page that has a post you can share and the link to register.

REGISTRATION IS FULL! But wait... There's a waitlist! Sign up now at tinyurl.com/TBRI-WAITLIST

What if connection changed everything?

That's the idea behind Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), an approach that helps children and adults heal from trauma through safe, healthy relationships.

Join the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth and Fostering Grace for a free TBRI® Training on Sept. 15-16 in Durant. You'll leave with practical, evidence-based strategies you can use in your work and your community.

Register using the link or QR code in the flyer, and please share this opportunity with colleagues and others who may be interested.

Our mission is to eliminate the inequalities that stand in the way for families in vulnerable neighborhoods to succeed

In plain language, that looks like:

Making sure a child's zip code never determines their future.
Tutoring, mentoring, and support so every student has what they need to succeed before they fall behind.

Creating spaces, programs, and connections where neighbors know each other, trust each other, and build something together

Ensuring safe, affordable housing and quality public spaces exist so that families aren’t priced out or pushed out of the neighborhood they call home.

We use upstream interventions to address root causes. It's what actually breaks cycles instead of just managing them.
