A Cascade of Impacts: A Discussion on the Many Ways Water Affects Early Childhood

As climate change, pollution, and other practices threaten water supplies, we must understand the role of water in early childhood development and examine how disparities in access place communities at risk.

Listen to the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University’s discussion on the many ways water affects early childhood health and well-being. The discussion is led by the Center’s Chief Science Officer, Lindsey Burghardt, MD, MPH, FAAP, and features Devon Payne-Sturges, DrPH, Associate Professor with the Department of Global, Environmental, and Occupational Health at the University of Maryland, School of Public Health, and Nathaniel Harnett, PhD, Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. You’ll learn about actionable strategies and policy solutions that can support clean water access for all children and their caregivers.
