Prevention Webinar – What’s Next for Whole Child Health Research?
For decades, federally supported research has expanded our understanding of what children need to thrive. We know more than ever before about the factors that promote healthy development, the conditions that place children at risk, and the protective experiences that can help children flourish despite adversity.
But what comes next?
How do we build on this knowledge to improve outcomes for children and families? What research gaps remain? How can federal investments support the implementation, scaling, and sustainability of effective approaches in communities across the nation?
