The Liggins Institute’s vision - 'A Healthy Start for a Healthy Life' - reflects the importance of
the first 1,000 days for improving lifelong health. So, why does the Institute have a dedicated
research team focused on adolescence as a key life stage for achieving this vision? Today’s
young people are tomorrow’s parents. Their developmental journey is occurring within a

why investing in adolescent development is vital to providing a healthy life for our teens and
their whānau, now and in the future.
