The conference also will feature three interactive workshop sessions addressing a wide variety of issues relating to youth violence. It is our belief that knowledge, coupled with action, are the core of advocacy. The conference brings together participants from many walks of life so that they may share their experiences and knowledge with others interested in improving the lives of children and families. Medstart was created in 1991 by a group of University of Michigan health science students who were concerned about the lack of information in their studies regarding the issues facing children and families. Medstart aims to expose current and future professionals to children's issues early in their career so they can act as advocates for the needs of children.
