We are excited to announce the 18th Annual Adolescent Conference. Last year over 500 professionals attended this conference.
Our theme this year is “Public Private Partnerships: The Power to Make a Difference for Youth, Families and Communities.” It speaks to the ever increasing value of public private partnerships, which effectively bring together a wide range of collaborators, including state and local agencies, businesses, philanthropies, faith based institutions, schools and service providers, all working together to improve and expand services for children, youth, and families.
More than ever now, it truly “Takes a Village” to nurture the collaboration and community engagement that provides our most vulnerable youth with the supports and opportunities they need to develop their full potential and mature into healthy and productive adults.
This conference will educate, inspire, and bring together professionals working daily with at-risk, delinquent and substance involved youth. Workshops and trainings will highlight evidence-based practices, share innovative program approaches, and celebrate success stories from across the country.
