Description

An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct an interactive public workshop featuring presentations and discussion of family-focused interventions to promote children's cognitive, affective, and behavioral health, including successes and failures in scaling, as well as barriers to implementation. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A brief individually-authored workshop summary, in addition to a full-length workshop summary, of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
