Implementing positive health and development outcomes for urban children begins with research but it doesn’t stop there. Join us to learn the latest on evidence-based interventions at Promoting the Well-Being of Children and Youth in Urban America: Best Practices to Next Practices, sponsored by Wayne State University Children’s Bridge and Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

About the Children’s Conference

This interactive conference will focus on evidence-based interventions for improving the health, education and development of urban children and youth. National and local leaders will present strategies for translating program ideas into practice, methods for measuring and demonstrating program effectiveness, and strategies for locating and securing funding.

Successful programs in four areas will be presented during concurrent sessions: children and youth at risk; language and learning; health and health disparities; violence, abuse and trauma. A broad range of basic and applied topics will also be presented at a poster session and reception. For more information, visit http://www.wsuchildren.wayne.edu.

Conference Participants

Researchers, clinicians, educators, students, policy makers and community representatives will exchange information on best practices for promoting the health, education and development of urban children and next practices for disseminating program models. Participants will address the many interrelated challenges in developing and implementing successful programs that benefit urban children and families.
