    Think Talk: Why Adolescent Development is Vital to a Healthy Life

    Tuesday 23 November 2021 7:30 - 8:30 pm

    The Liggins Institute’s vision - 'A Healthy Start for a Healthy Life' - reflects the importance of the first 1,000 days for improving lifelong health. So, why does the Institute have a dedicated research team focused on adolescence as a key life stage for achieving this vision? Today’s young people are tomorrow’s parents. Their developmental journey is occurring within a world that is experiencing change at an unparalleled pace and scale. This talk will explore why investing in adolescent development is vital to providing a healthy life for our teens and their whānau, now and in the future.
