Gathering Again for the Kids Brain Health Network Conference
KBHN hosted its12th annual conference in partnership with the 2022 DOHaD World Congress—the first in-person gathering for trainees, researchers, families, partners, Board members and staff for the first time since meeting in Ottawa in December, 2019.
Led by Board Chair Geoff Pradella, the Board of Directors met to discuss KBHN’s next steps on fund development, to ensure sustained, collaborative work that has lasting impacts for children, families and community partners working in neurodevelopmental sciences in Canada.
For Research Day 2022, our partners travelled to Vancouver from all across the country to connect with their colleagues and share the latest developments in research and implementation. Project presentations focused on training, eHealth and technology, and support for families and communities. –
Research Day also had a prominent highlight with the presentation of the Fraser Mustard award to Dr. Vikram Patel, a renowned global scholar, scientist, psychiatrist and advocate for child development and mental health supports in low-resource settings.
Dr. Patel said interdisciplinary gatherings help ensure crucial collaborations, enabling scientific progress in child research and family health—and that he was pleased to participate in KBHN’s efforts toward this goal.
