Join us for a powerful conversation about why neighborhood matters when it comes to improving child and family well-being. For decades, traditional efforts focused on individual interventions—social services, healthcare, education—without fully addressing the neighborhood conditions that shape health and opportunity. At Purpose Built Communities, we know that thriving families begin with thriving neighborhoods.

 Moderated by Dr. Doug Jutte (pediatrician, public health expert, and Purpose Built Communities board member) this dynamic session will feature two leading voices in the field: Purpose Built Communities CEO Carol Naughton and Dr. Jack Shonkoff (Founder, Connecting Science and Community, Harvard University). Together, they will explore how the latest research affirms the critical role of place-based strategies in creating healthier, more equitable communities.

 You'll leave inspired, energized, and confident that we are on the right track—and equipped with new insights to take even more action to make neighborhoods places where every child and family can thrive.
