Free Healing Summits for Parents/Guardians/Teachers and Teens
JOIN US for two summits on January 23, 2021, and February 20, 2021, 6:30-8:30 PM!
As Founder & CEO of Dream Girls Academy (DGA) and recent recipient of the United Way of Champaign County's Healing Illinois re-grant, Debarah McFarland has teamed up with Champaign (Unit 4) School District to present resources for families to combat hopelessness throughout these winter months. “Having parents and guardians involved from the start promotes healthy interaction between children and adults and allows for the opportunity to refer families to outside services if necessary. It is the mission of Dream Girls Academy to provide the leadership structure necessary to build positive and responsible families with pride, courage, and grace,” says McFarland.
DGA is using this re-grant to promote dialogue, encourage collaboration, facilitate learning, and seed connections throughout the Champaign area during two free, online sessions in January and February. To participate, you do not need to be affiliated with Champaign schools.
Part One of the racial equity summit: Parents' Healing Conversation, Saturday, January 23, 2021 via Zoom 6:30-8:30PM.
Part Two will be a Teen Summit, Saturday, February 20, 2021 via Zoom 6:30-8:30PM.
The facilitators will include Alissia Young, licensed social worker in health care; Shandra Summerville of the Champaign County Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Board, and Kim Bryan, Executive Director of Rattle the Stars https://rattlethestars.org/aboutus/.
After an initial icebreaker, participants will join break out groups for discussion, and then come together for sharing, next steps and evaluation.

The first twenty sign-ups will receive a gift-card to pay for food.
