Full Bio

Robert Sege, MD, PhD, speaks passionately about the new and positive model for raising healthy children and preventing violence, bullying, abuse, and neglect. He explains that the key to preventing violence is to promote resilience, which is developed through strong relationships with family and community.

This positive approach applies to all families. Dr. Sege and his wife, Dr. Karen Victor, have raised three children. Through their own experience, coupled with their conversations with the thousands of families they care for, they have come to realize that parents who find joy in parenting raise resilient children.

Dr. Sege speaks nationally and internationally about joyful parenting, weaving personal experience, recent studies of children and their parents, and lessons he has learned from his patients in his presentations. He motivates his audiences to support parents, children, and teens in realizing their hopes and dreams in order to promote resilience and eliminate violence. He has spoken with professional audiences, parents, and policymakers and has appeared in national media, including The New York Times, NPR, and local media outlets throughout the country.

Dr. Robert Sege is a practicing pediatrician, a professor of pediatrics at Boston University, and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect. He led the development of the Connected Kids: Safe, Strong, Secure program for the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is a former member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Injury Violence and Poison Prevention and is the author of the November 2012 AAP policy statement “Firearm-Related Injuries Affecting the Pediatric Population.” He was the recipient of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ 2008 Fellow Achievement Award for his work on youth violence prevention.
