SUMMARY:Aprendiendo del amor: Apoyando a nuestra juventud y familias hispanas
DESCRIPTION:Esta presentation de 3 horas está dirigida a padres\, familiares\, líderes de la comunidad\, maestros/maestras y cualquier persona que trabaje con jóvenes. Analizaremos maneras de apoyar a los jóvenes a través de relaciones para que tomen decisiones saludables y cómo iniciar conversaciones con ellos sobre el consumo de sustancias adictivas. Nuestra presentación incluirá información sobre los servicios de First Call y los recursos disponibles para la comunidad. \n \nMarialba Quesada es una antropóloga centroamericana enfocada en el desarrollo comunitario y los derechos humanos. Tiene 8 años de experiencia en la reforma de políticas internacionales sobre drogas\, con un enfoque en la juventud\, y 10 años de conocimiento en la reducción de daños\, principalmente centrada en las poblaciones latinas. \n \nNatalia Negrón Stamm\, MPS\nEspecialista en Prevención Comunitaria\nNatalia estudió Desarrollo Infantil y Adolescencia en la Universidad de Illinois en Urbana-Champaign y se graduó en 2007. Comenzó su carrera en un centro de desarrollo infantil para niños con necesidades especiales. Luego\, se dedicó a enseñar clases de baile y ejercicio para niños y adultos\, lo que la llevó a tener su propio gimnasio. En 2024\, vendió su negocio y comenzó una nueva carrera en First Call como Especialista en Prevención Comunitaria. Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es enseñar clases de habilidades sociales y emocionales en escuelas primarias y secundarias del área de Kansas City\, sabiendo que estas habilidades han demostrado ayudar a los niños a tomar mejores decisiones sobre el consumo de sustancias adictivas y la conducta riesgosa. \n  \n\nHéctor Contreras\, MPS\, MAADC I\nConsejero juvenil\, First Call\nHéctor Contreras es un consejero juvenil dedicado en First Call\, apasionado por empoderar a los jóvenes para que alcancen su máximo potencial. Su compromiso con el desarrollo de los jóvenes comenzó durante sus años universitarios en Arkansas\, donde trabajó en un campamento deportivo y de aventura en Beaver Lake y más tarde se desempeñó como subdirector de un programa extracurricular que apoyaba a comunidades desfavorecidas en todo el noroeste de Arkansas. En 2020\, Héctor se trasladó a Kansas City para dedicarse a la salud mental\, trabajando como gerente residencial y especialista en comportamiento en Embark Behavioral Health. Estas experiencias han dado forma a un enfoque de asesoramiento basado en la validación\, el empoderamiento y el crecimiento. A partir de su experiencia como mexicano nativo y su dominio del inglés y el español\, Héctor aporta un profundo conocimiento de su origen étnico y su acogida a su trabajo con los jóvenes y las familias. Anteriormente colaboró con la Universidad Estatal de Wichita y el estado de Kansas para desarrollar un plan de estudios que explorara la intersección entre los trastornos por consumo de sustancias y las comunidades de habla hispana. Más allá de su trabajo como consejero\, Héctor sigue desafiándose a sí mismo personalmente\, más recientemente al completar la media maratón de Kansas City\, lo que refleja su compromiso con la perseverancia\, el crecimiento y el bienestar holístico.

SUMMARY:It Takes Each of Us: Cultivating Developmental Relationships with Youth
DESCRIPTION:A workshop designed for adults at schools\, youth serving organizations and programs who are interested in strengthening relationships in their day-to-day activities and interactions with young people. Participants will analyze your work with young people through the lens of the Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships Framework and the context of your program\, school or organization; assess the strengths and growth areas of your own relational mindsets and actions; co-create an action plan to integrate inclusive developmental relationships in your daily practices and procedures. Rather than creating additional work\, the Developmental Relationships Framework principles of Express Care\, Challenge Growth\, Provide Support\, Share Power and Expand Possibilities will enhance the work you’re already doing. \n \nHector Contreras\, MPS\, MAADC I\nYouth Counselor\, First Call\nHector Contreras is a dedicated Youth Counselor at First Call\, passionate about empowering young people to reach their full potential.

These experiences have shaped a counseling approach grounded in validation\, empowerment\, and growth. Drawing from his lived experience as a Native Mexican and his fluency in both English and Spanish\, Hector brings a deep understanding from his ethnicity and welcomeness to his work with youth and families. He previously collaborated with Wichita State University and the State of Kansas to develop curriculum exploring the intersection of substance use disorders and Spanish-speaking communities. Beyond his counseling work\, Hector continues to challenge himself personally—most recently by completing the Kansas City Half Marathon—a reflection of his commitment to perseverance\, growth\, and holistic well-being. \n \nAnanda Sallman (she/they)\, MPS\, CPS | Community Prevention Specialist\, First Call\nAnanda Sallman is in her third year serving as a Prevention Specialist with First Call.
