Research on Tap: Improving Early Childhood Well-Being Locally & Globally (2021)
Faculty Hosts: Dina Castro, Director, BU Institute for Early Childhood Well-Being, and Ruth Paris, Associate Director for Research, BU Institute for Early Childhood Well-Being
Investments in the development of young children benefit the social and economic vitality of every society. The new BU Institute for Early Childhood Well-Being works to address adverse conditions faced by children and families, here in Boston and around the world, including chronic stress, trauma, poverty, racism, discrimination, and other challenges.
In this Research on Tap, faculty from across BU will present research that seeks to transform early childhood nurturing ecosystems by mitigating a wide range of issues, from adverse childhood experiences to broad social disadvantage. Attendees can expect to learn about social determinants of health and wellbeing for young children, as well as innovative solutions BU faculty are developing and testing locally and around the globe.
