About Act4Kids Nevada
Founded in 2023, Act4Kids Nevada is a nonprofit organization that advocates for comprehensive healthcare for all of Nevada’s children. Grassroots collaboration brought our board of parents, advocates, and healthcare providers together to elevate and center patient and caregiver voices. Their shared professional and personal experiences in the healthcare system are what motivates our work. Learn more at Act4KidsNevada.org.
On June 9, 2026, families from across the country will gather—both in Washington, D.C., and virtually—for Strolling Thunder™, a national advocacy event led by ZERO TO THREE’s Think Babies™ campaign. Learn why advocacy matters in advancing policies that support babies and toddlers during the most critical years of development and meet the family representing Nevada this year.

Social-emotional development is essential for helping children grow into healthy, confident, and capable adults. A key part of this is self-management, or the ability to manage one's emotions. This skill is one of the focus areas in UNR Extension’s Everyday SEL and You family engagement program. Discover why building this skill is essential for supporting your child’s development and overall well-being.
