Webinar: Coming Back to Your Why: A Reflection on the Importance of Outreach Work
Welcome Baby Outreach Specialists — and other home visiting staff who do outreach work — play a key role in connecting families to home visiting services and enrolling them in programs that best meet their needs. It’s rewarding work, but it can be more than a little challenging.
As the new year approaches, LA Best Babies Network invited Alex Flores to facilitate a reflective workshop for outreach staff from our network’s home visiting organizations and Welcome Baby hospitals. Held on December 16, 2025, this interactive session created a space for participants to pause and reflect on their work.
Through this guided session, Alex helped the attendees:
- Reflect on what called them to this work and reconnect to the deeper purpose that guides their role as Outreach Specialists
- Recognize how presence and grounded awareness support meaningful connection and trust with families and community partners
- Identify one simple practice they can use to pause, reflect, and reconnect with why they do this work
