We have a dynamic meeting planned featuring cutting-edge keynote addresses, fascinating panel discussions, diverse poster presentations, and interactive breakout sessions! Come and join the conversation - please sign up as soon as possible before all seats are booked.

We will explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected global child health and the deep concerns it has revealed. The pandemic has strained, and disrupted health systems in low-, middle-, and high-income countries and children have often been the hidden victims. This conference will gather global health experts, interdisciplinary leaders from around the world, and youth to discuss the challenges that COVID-19 has imposed on children's health and wellbeing. We will also showcase strategies to mitigate its effects, highlight successes and lessons learned as we look forward to a better post-pandemic world. Attendees will leave the conference with a clear mandate, objectives and strategies to make up for lost time in child health both globally and in their local health systems. 

1. Discuss how COVID-19 has impacted child health and wellbeing
2. Describe how COVID-19 has affected adolescent mental health and identify at least two evidence-based approaches for addressing adolescent mental health needs post-pandemic
3. Identify at least two strategies/approaches for re-engaging children who have been lost to care because of COVID-19
