Program

This Spanish/English training will equip home visitors, health care workers, and child care providers who serve low income and new immigrant communities with information on Paid Family Leave and related workplace rights.  Help us create a strong county-wide network of support which will positively impact the number of parents and families who can access these benefits.

Participants will leave the training with new skills, information, and resources that will enable them to help parents and families of Los Angeles thrive
