Join ARM and guests for a discussion on the growing importance of dignity and hygiene services with subject matter experts.
Join us for the first ever Dignity Summit! A cross-disciplinary discussion on emerging trends in human services, the role they play, and the value they offer guests and our community.
Dignity is a funny thing..
Whenever we think of critical needs in our community - its easy to default to housing or food, and for good reason. However Flint, Jackson, and other water access crises occassionally bring our attention to a persistant access problem across all our communities. Water, Showers, and Hygiene (or WASH) services are a critically underserved component of our continuum of care. ARM's mobile shower program is one such way to address water access while restoring the rights and dignity of our guests.
WASH is one way to address a deeper concern as we look to uplift our neighbors, by addressing their inherent dignity. Haircuts, Clothing, Case Management, and other innovative practices restore the dingity of clients and prepare ngo's and wraparound services to meet at the table in greater equality and readiness for self-sustainability.
JOIN US!
The Dignity Summit is a first of its kind conversation bringing funders, innovative programs, corporate programs, and more together to challenge our perception of how we can raise the bar on building programs that do more than just meet essential needs.
