Event Overview
A Tradition Since 1982...
The biennial International Child
& Adolescent Conference started in 1982 as a transdisciplinary forum for
individuals from education, mental health, juvenile justice and related
fields to share information on effective interventions and programs for
troubled youth. Our 14th conference promises to once again feature high
quality content on current topics and support for those who work with troubled youth.
Join us for an
unsurpassed opportunity to gain research-based practices to improve learning
