Learn about the impact of stress on child health and groundbreaking interventions to protect families. Dr. Nicki Bush, an international leader in social determinants of health research and Division Chief of Developmental Medicine, will share insights from her work, including how child-parent therapy (dyadic therapy) can reverse trauma-related biological harm. Dr. Bush has published over 200 papers and book chapters on how early life environments, beginning in utero, affect development and health across the lifespan. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees at Oberndorf Auditorium.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe ways that stress can affect health across generations.
• Recognize at least two key biological mechanisms for social determinants of health, beginning in utero and early childhood.
