Utah Children aimed to enhance public systems for protecting abused, neglected, and foster children, ensuring they received adequate nutrition, health care, and financial support from absent parents. In partnership with the University of Utah Graduate School of Social Work, the Children’s Defense Fund, and the National Association of Child Advocates, Utah Children sponsored a child advocacy summit conference titled "Stand Up for Children: New Visions, New Voices". The conference focused on innovative approaches and new perspectives in child advocacy.
