🌟🐢 Institute Day 2: Belonging in Action! 🐢🌟

We kicked off Day 2 by welcoming Sally Hansen, who brought her experience as an early childhood behavior consultant, family therapist, and program administrator to a meaningful conversation about the importance of belonging and creating systems that ensure everyone feels supported. 💚💙

Mother Nature even gave us an unexpected opportunity to put that message into practice! 🌪️ During a brief shelter-in-place due to tornado warnings, our staff continued connecting, laughing, and building relationships because apparently, belonging can happen anywhere…even in our shelter locations! 😄

Once we received the all clear, we were right back to learning. A memorable Day 2 and a great reminder that belonging isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we create together.

🌟🐢 Día 2 del Instituto: ¡Pertenencia en Acción! 🐢🌟

Comenzamos nuestro segundo día dando la bienvenida a Sally Hansen, quien compartió su experiencia como consultora de comportamiento en la primera infancia, terapeuta familiar y administradora de programas. Juntos reflexionamos sobre la importancia de crear un sentido de pertenencia y establecer sistemas que aseguren que todos se sientan apoyados. 💚💙

¡La Madre Naturaleza incluso nos dio una oportunidad inesperada para poner ese mensaje en práctica! 🌪️ Durante una breve pausa en la que tuvimos que resguardarnos debido a las alertas de tornado, nuestro personal continuó conectándose, compartiendo y fortaleciendo relaciones, porque aparentemente… ¡el sentido de pertenencia se puede crear en cualquier lugar, incluso mientras estamos resguardados! 😄

Una vez que recibimos la indicación de que todo estaba seguro, regresamos a nuestro aprendizaje. Un Día 2 para recordar y un gran recordatorio de que la pertenencia no es solo algo de lo que hablamos, sino algo que construimos juntos.
