KDWB University Pediatrics Family Center

The KDWB University Pediatrics Family Center is a collaboration between the Division of General Pediatrics in the department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota and KDWB Radio. Activities at the center are focused on maximizing the developmental potential of all children by creating human environments that reduce risks and provide resources that contribute to child competence and well-being. 

The center is dedicated to teaching, research, outreach and community service.

• It is a place where families can come to gain the support they need to help their children and their families thrive.
• It is dedicated to helping children and youth living with a host of complicated and rare chronic and disabling conditions thrive.
• It is a place grounded in the beliefs that:
• All children have the same fundamental needs;
• Family is the central influence in the lives of all children;
• Everyone benefits when these children participate in community;
• Positive beliefs and attitudes about children will contribute to competence; and
• Normalizing life experiences foster the development of psychological and social competence.
