As communities work to improve outcomes for children and families, there is a growing call for stronger partnerships between public systems and private-sector leaders and investors. In response to this, the Forum for Children's Well-Being of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop, The Business of Flourishing: Innovative Investments in Children and Youth, on May 19, 2025. This convening brought together leaders from philanthropy, finance, business, health care, government, research, and community organizations to explore how new forms of collaboration can support children's well-being. The workshop is part of a broader series developed in follow-up to the Launching Lifelong Health report, designed to explore in greater depth key areas of innovation and need identified in that report - this session focused on financing prevention with particular attention to collaboration between public and private partners. This publication highlights the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
