Healthy Development Adelaide forum

Join us for the Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA) forum on Working in partnership to support children and families in the early years.

This forum is held in conjunction with our partner organisation Preventive Health SA. The forum will be held on Thursday 22 August, 5.30-8.30pm, Napier G04 lecture theatre, Napier building, Ground floor, University of Adelaide, North Terrace.

It is well known that the early years of life lay the foundations for future health and wellbeing. Positive health and wellbeing behaviours established across early childhood can have a lasting effect across the lifetime and play a critical role in primary prevention.  This forum will focus on the collaborative partnership between Preventive Health SA and Caring Futures Institute, Flinders University and their joint commitment to supporting families for improved health and wellbeing in the early years.
