Stronger Together: Partnering for a Better Future - A California Summit to Advance Early Intervention for All Young Children
Event Summary
The Early Intervention Summit: A Call to Collective Action.
The earliest years of life offer our greatest opportunity to build strong foundations for lifelong success. This Summit brings together leaders in health, education, social services, and policy to advance integrated, preventive strategies that support optimal child development and thriving communities. Early intervention is not just a strategy—it’s a powerful investment in human potential and public well-being. Together, we can create lasting impact, reduce long-term burdens, and shape a healthier, more resilient future for all.
