Keynote speaker will be David Walsh, PhD, one of the world’s leading authorities on children, teens, parenting, family life, and the impacts of technology on children’s health and development. Additional speakers will cover topics related to early brain development, youth at risk, bullying and human trafficking. The Conference fee is $25 and this includes lunch and snacks.

According to The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy, the national teen pregnancy and parenting rate has plummeted over the past two decades, but few Americans are aware of this great success. Their infographic, The Greatest Story Never Told (pdf), reflects data collected from a national telephone survey conducted by Social Science Research Solutions for The National Campaign. We hope you’ll share the good news and continue to support Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.
