Thank you to City of Miami Chief of Police Edwin Lopez for sharing an encouraging message with The Children’s Trust leadership team today. Chief Lopez reminded us that effective leadership means staying connected, listening with intention, valuing every voice and bringing people at all levels into the room. We appreciate the valuable insights and practical wisdom he shared about leading with authenticity, inclusion, and purpose.

As Miami-Dade County students head back to school today, The Children’s Trust wishes everyone a wonderful first day and a successful year ahead!

A new school year means new opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. We are proud to support children and families through hundreds of after-school programs and resources that help every child succeed.

Good luck, Miami-Dade! Be curious, be confident, and make it a great year!

That’s a wrap on the 2026 HealthConnect Professional Development Conference, “Together for Healthier Schools and Communities!”

Over the last two days, more than 300 school health professionals and their organizations came together at Miami Dade College Kendall Campus to discuss essential topics including school nursing strategies, student mental health support, and educational resources for health professionals.

A huge thank you to our incredible guest speakers, our five provider agencies for HealthConnect, our host site Miami-Dade College Kendall Campus, and to everyone who helped make this conference such a success. Together, we’re building stronger schools and communities for Miami-Dade’s children.
