Join us on February 5, 2026 for the annual NW Children’s Foundation Forum — From High-Stress Interactions to Collaboration: Tools and Skills to Build Connection.

Whether you work in child welfare, mental health, early learning, home visiting, or allied fields, this virtual forum offers practical tools for building connection, reducing burnout, and strengthening relationships, even in moments of high stress.

At the forum, Dr. Lisa Mennet, a leading expert in infant and early childhood mental health, will introduce the FAN (Facilitating Attuned Interactions) approach: a relational mental framework and practical tool for meeting people where they are, deepening connection, and fostering collaboration in high-stress moments. Dr. Ben Danielson, a Seattle-based pediatrician and community advocate, returns to provide opening remarks and reflections, and to lead a panel discussion with practitioners who are applying the FAN approach or FAN-aligned principles in their daily work.
