ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
We all want the best for our kids and we all struggle to find the very best strategies that we know works. Where do we go from here? The Prevention field struggled for years to show that its programs were effective in reducing youth anti-social behavior, like alcohol and drug abuse, and in increasing healthy behavior choices. Today, leading researchers, like Delbert Elliott, PhD, Conference Keynote Speaker, have demonstrated positive results in evaluated prevention programs. Dr. Elliott and his team, using stringent criteria, evaluated over 450 programs and selected eleven proven programs they call Blueprints. This Prevention Conference will highlight several Blueprint programs by bringing in practitioners who implement these programs. The Conference also includes workshops to build perspectives that will increase knowledge and skills helpful in working together to replicate successful programs. Come learn more about proven programs and leave with new tools and strategies.

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
To update what we know about the complex developmental needs at each stage of a child's development and clarify what occurs when these needs are not met.

To interact with the successful research-based programs that best support development of healthy children.

To build awareness about how we can get beyond networking to system integration in working together for truly integrated health and human care service delivery.
