Presentations at this FREE conference will focus on the vulnerability of children who grow up in circumstances of social and economic disadvantage.

We’ll examine how exposure to adverse environmental factors can negatively impact children’s health, growth and development, and look at solutions to breaking this cycle and assuring that children have a positive future.
