OVC Wellbeing

OVC Wellbeing is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community for researchers and policymakers focused on the well-being of orphan and vulnerable children (OVC). Founded in 2012 by the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research (CHPIR) at Duke University, this initiative aims to bridge the gap between evidence-based research and innovative policy solutions. Unlike other research hubs, OVC Wellbeing champions open discussions devoid of a specific agenda, promoting collaboration among a global network of professionals.

The platform serves as a central resource for sharing findings on various aspects affecting OVC, such as caregiving situations, educational impact, long-term health consequences, and socioemotional well-being. OVC Wellbeing strives to disseminate valuable insights and tools for training and therapy that can guide stakeholders in creating meaningful interventions. By emphasizing peer-reviewed research, OVC Wellbeing aims to enhance understanding and improve the quality of life for vulnerable children worldwide. Join their community for the latest updates and research initiatives in this critical area.
