Cultivating Lifelong Family Well-being: Community Health Forum & Desmond P. Kelly Nurturing Developing Minds Conference & Research Symposium

Greenville, SC US
March 7, 2024 to March 8, 2024

Cultivating Lifelong Family Well-being

The Community Health Forum and Nurturing Developing Minds Conference CME combines two annual events serving the Upstate medical and community health communities. The Institute for Child Success (ICS) annually organized the NDM Conference; Institute for the Advancement of Community Health (IACH) at Furman University (a primary academic partner of Prisma Health) organizes the Community Health Forum. The event will be presented as a two-day professional development event with the shared theme of “Cultivating Lifelong Family Well-being.” Sessions cover a range of topics including pediatric clinical care, developmental disabilities, mental health, maternal care, advocacy, and equity. The conference focuses on topics related to physical and social environmental factors that affect child behavior and development. This conference aims to empower pediatric clinicians and early childhood professionals to appropriately conduct interviews/interventions in patients where negative impacts outweigh positive impacts.
