Children’s Mental Health and the Life Course Model: Preventing Depression and Other Brain Health Conditions

May 20, 2020 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM PT

This virtual workshop is part of a series that is co-organized by the Maternal-Child Health Life Course Intervention Research Network and the National Academies' Forum for Children's Well-Being. The series will focus on understanding how mental health disorders develop over the lifespan, with a special emphasis on prenatal, early, middle, and later childhood. It will also focus on identifying gaps in our knowledge, exploring new strategies for using existing data to enhance our understanding of the developmental origins of mental disorders, reviewing potential approaches to prevention and optimization, and proposing new ways of framing how we understand, address, and prevent these disorders from a life course development perspective. For the sixth webinar in this series, Erin Dunn, ScD, MPH (Center for Genomic Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital) will host a discussion on an epidemiological approach to preventing depression and other brain health conditions. Information on joining the webinar will be sent to registered participants prior to the event. Please contact Erin Kellogg, ekellogg@nas.edu with any questions.
