The Kids are Worth It!® Conference is Kentucky’s premier educational event designed to meet the continuing education, networking, and programmatic needs of diverse professionals who contribute professionally or personally to the safety, well-being and permanency of Kentucky’s children.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety of our participants, we are hosting the 24th Annual Kids Are Worth It!® Conference virtually. The conference will take place September 1st-24th. We are offering a minimum of 14 workshops, two keynote sessions, a fireside chat and the opportunity to network with exhibitors. This is the same Kids Are Worth It!® Conference you have come to know and love, just from the comfort of your own home or office! Join us as we delve into a variety of hot topics such as implicit bias, Adverse Childhood Experiences, mental health, child sexual abuse prevention and more. We look forward to seeing you on screen throughout the month of September as we learn from professionals and experts across the field of prevention. After all, kids are worth it!
