Beloved Community: What is it and how do we build it?

While aspirational, the concept of the Beloved Community is intended to be practical rather than utopian. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made the term popular and gave it a deeper meaning by making it the overarching goal of nonviolence. It is a community where the level of relationships are raised to a higher level and where issues can be dealt with jointly in a constructive manner and objectives can move forward in a more efficient way due to the heightened sense of belonging and ownership. We are all members of many communities where we live, work, and spend leisure time. During this session we will assess the communities we belong to and discuss how we can be deliberate about strengthening our organizational community for the betterment of our workforce and the clients that we serve.

90-minute Workshops……………..……………………………………………………………1-2:30 p.m.

Kidding Around: Supporting Teen ParentsTeen parenthood is often regarded as an unplanned phase of life resulting in an unwanted child. In this session, we will invite participants to consider a radical new way of thinking about family planning to acknowledge conscious teen parenting. In this workshop, we will review local data on rates and risks of teen parenthood. We will move from theory to practice by acknowledging stigmatizing attitudes and exploring the gaps in services that create greater challenges for young parents. Furthermore, we will share innovative strategies to more intentionally integrate teens into parenting and maternal health services.

Efficient Housing for All Community of Practice: CHW Weatherization Ambassadors are the Key to Improving Home and Human Health in RI’s Underresourced CommunitiesFact #1: Energy efficient, weatherized homes are healthier, more comfortable, and cost less to heat and cool. Fact #2: Rhode Island has programs in place for income-eligible residents to weatherize their homes at no cost. Fact #3: Participation in weatherization programs by income-eligible ratepayers is very low.

The Efficient Housing for All Community of Practice (EHACoP) brought community-based workers and residents together to brainstorm ways to increase participation in RI’s income eligible weatherization programs from April-July 2025. In this session, EHACoP participants and staff from the University of Rhode Island Cooperative Extension will a) share the results from the EHACoP, b) provide information about future CHW training available in 2026, and provide an opportunity for session participants to earn incentives for signing up for and completing a home energy assessment of their own! The goal? To make energy efficiency accessible to all and improve human and environmental health in the process. Join us!

Participants will strengthen their Self-knowledge by examining and distinguishing their own attitudes towards race and racism.

With this model, they will be equipped with a powerful tool to continue their process of unlearning our racial conditioning.
