The second annual Growing Well Conference will offer inspiration, education, and connection for those working to support children and youth with special health care needs in rural western North Carolina.

This year’s theme, “Moving Mountains for People with Special Health Care Needs,” highlights the resilience, innovation, and collaboration needed to improve outcomes for families navigating complex health and social systems. 

The conference features a dynamic mix of individual and group presentations, expert panel discussions, and hands-on demonstrations. Sessions will be led by health care providers, researchers, government leaders, educators, and individuals with lived experience—offering a wide range of perspectives.

Open to community members, advocates, caregivers, parents, and health care professionals supporting children and youth with special health care needs. Continuing education credits are available for physicians, nurses, SLPs, OTs, PTs, behavioral health professionals, psychologists, and public health professionals.
