Pourquoi le travail collectif est-il important pour le travail \u00e0 l\u2019EFC ?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“There are so many organizations, groups, and individuals doing wonderful things to help prevent child maltreatment and improve the well-being of children. None can do this on their own, but if we work synergistically, we can limit redundancy and build on what others are doing to effect meaningful change.”<\/p>\n

What’s one thing you wish you’d known when you first became a parent?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“I wish I had known the importance of self-care. Taking care of myself allows me to be a better parent. I wish I had known that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Building a support system is crucial in navigating the challenges of parenthood. Finally, understanding the importance of being flexible and parenting. Every child is unique, and you must be adaptable.”<\/p>\n\t\t

Kenyn poss\u00e8de plus de vingt ans d'exp\u00e9rience dans le secteur public des services sociaux, et plus particuli\u00e8rement dans le d\u00e9veloppement de syst\u00e8mes sociaux qui renforcent les individus, les familles et les communaut\u00e9s.

Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son expertise en architecture d'entreprise, en d\u00e9veloppement organisationnel et en ex\u00e9cution de strat\u00e9gies, Kenyn remet en question les id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues et r\u00e9invente la mani\u00e8re dont les organisations cr\u00e9ent de la valeur, ce qui conduit \u00e0 des communaut\u00e9s plus fortes et plus r\u00e9silientes.<\/p>\n

Kenyn builds resilience in his own life by creating structure amid chaos, whether through music, routines, or reflection. It keeps his mind steady so he can operate under pressure. He’s actively involved in the Business Architecture Guild and is a musician.<\/p>\n

Kenyn’s childhood in East Baltimore, where co-op gardens and the Shares program were a vital food resource for his family and neighbors, anchors his dedication to community-centered solutions. He brings that lived experience to his work at R\u00e9seau d'information du Maryland<\/a>, qui alimente 211 services.<\/p>\n\t

“The field continues to be new and exciting. I think back to how I was trained as a social worker on the causes of mental illness and the blame that was placed on families, particularly mothers. The research and development of brain science and resilience has transformed medicine. The more we learn, the more relief and hope we can provide to people. We have the tools we need to foster understanding and impact lives.”<\/p>\n\t\t
