An ad hoc planning committee will organize and convene a one-day, interactive public workshop to explore the factors that affect the health and well-being of middle-school aged adolescents. The workshop may include invited presentations on: the risk factors of poor (physical, social, emotional) outcomes and their prevalence; the identification of resilience factors; current policies and programs designed to support middle school success and address issues of equity and financing as they apply to these; and how the health and human (social) services sectors can support and align with the education sector to promote health and well-being in middle school. A proceedings of the presentations and discussion at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
