When Ke'Shawn walked through Springboard Community Services' doors four years ago, he was looking for a meal and a safe place to be. Today, he credits that welcoming environment with helping him find support, opportunity, and hope. 💛 We're proud to partner with Springboard as one of our 760+ community partners working every day to connect neighbors with food and other critical resources. ➡️ Read more in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/4xdECKC #MarylandFoodBank #EndHunger #Baltimore #PartnerSpotlight

A huge thank you to Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen for kicking off Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion with such a thoughtful and prepared opening! #CollectiveConversations #Baltimore #SettingHopeInMotion

Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion wrapped up this week at The Center Club in Baltimore, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who was part of it! A heartfelt thank you to our keynote speakers, Erin Merryn and Wendy Ellis DrPH, MSH, for bringing such depth and expertise to the conversation. Thank you to every attendee who asked thoughtful questions, shared honest feedback, and helped foster a true spirit of collaboration. To all our speakers — you sparked powerful conversations and calls to action around preventing harm and promoting healing from child abuse. We are so thankful for your contributions! We're also proud to have co-hosted this event alongside our partners at Change the Conversation, and we're grateful for the opportunity to help build a stronger, more connected community that's ready to tackle difficult conversations head-on. None of these two remarkable days would have been possible without the incredible people working behind the scenes, our sponsors, exhibitors, and volunteers who generously gave their time, resources, and energy to make this conference truly meaningful. Thank you!

I had the opportunity to speak about the collaboration between Best Interest Attorneys and mental health professionals at Collective Conversations: Setting Hope In Motion in Baltimore, and here are my takeaways... This conference brought together legal professionals, mental health providers, educators, healthcare professionals, and advocates, all focused on one shared goal: better supporting children through some of the most difficult situations they may face. I spoke about how intentional communication between disciplines can make a meaningful difference for children navigating high-conflict family dynamics. What stood out most to me over these two days was the reminder that none of this work happens in isolation. The best outcomes for children happen when professionals are willing to listen to each other, challenge assumptions, and stay focused on the child’s experience, not just the system around them. I'm grateful to the organizers at Change the Conversation and Springboard Community Services for putting together such a thoughtful and impactful event, and grateful to be included in the conversation!
