QPI Webinar: Back to School: Supporting Children Through Partnerships

The start of a new school year is an opportunity to strengthen the partnerships that help children and youth thrive. Join us for a conversation about how caregivers, birth parents, educators, child welfare professionals, and community organizations can work together to create positive school experiences and stronger connections for children and families.

Hear from QPI sites that have built innovative partnerships with their local Departments of Education and school districts, making education a central part of their QPI work. Learn how these collaborations are breaking down barriers, improving communication, and creating more coordinated support for children and youth.

Hear how community organizations are developing innovative approaches to connecting families, schools, and child welfare, creating stronger networks of support for children. Listen to resource parents share how partnering with birth parents can help children transition into the school year with confidence and consistency. And hear directly from young people about the relationships, encouragement, and supports that made a meaningful difference in their educational journeys.

You’ll leave with practical ideas, inspiring examples, and strategies you can bring back to your own community to strengthen partnerships and ensure children and youth experience school as a place of connection, belonging, and opportunity.

This 60-minute webinar is scheduled for Thursday, August 20th 2026, at 2:00 pm Eastern / 1:00 pm Central / 12:00 pm Mountain / 11:00 am Pacific.
