Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Family Symposium

The Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Family Symposium brings together families, patients, and professionals for a day of learning and connection. Through interactive workshops, panel discussions, and keynote talks, experts in cardiac neurodevelopment will explore the newest research on how to support the wellbeing of young people with complex heart defects.

The 2024 symposium focuses on two critical themes: building resilience and the power of intervention. Participants will be able to delve into topics such as:

-promoting the wellbeing of healthy siblings

-using shared decision making to build better family-provider relationships

-the role of exercise in the health of people with complex heart defects

-accessing the best interventions throughout development and into adulthood

This event is aimed at everyone who knows or cares for a young person with a complex heart defect, including:

-parents and other family members

-teen and adult patients

-physicians and nurses

-teachers

-allied health professionals

The full event will include:

1. Optional workshops on Friday afternoon, November 1, 3-5pm
