The Chadwick Center for Children & Families
Presents the 22nd Annual
San Diego International Conference
on Child and Family Maltreatment
January 28 - February 1, 2008
Welcome
I am pleased you have joined us in San Diego for the 22nd Annual International Child and Family Maltreatment Conference sponsored by the Chadwick Center for Children and Families at Rady Children’s Hospital.
An outstanding program has been planned bringing together some of the most respected specialists from around the world to share and learn from one another. Representing 50 states and 6 continents, over 1,800 professionals will focus on learning and spreading the best practices available for children and families whose future depends upon us all.
In this conference, we have balanced strong science with practical experience and real world solutions built on solid evidence. Our international faculty of 240 will share their insights during the 12 pre-conference institutes, 200 workshops, 4 plenary sessions and 8 luncheon sessions.
In addition to our traditional attention on medicine, law, investigation, mental health treatment, child welfare, interviewing, prevention, Child Advocacy Centers, leadership, and research, we will feature special tracks on issues affecting
LGBTQ youth
Offender intervention
Native American families
Cross-cultural subjects
In addition, a series of new topics is offered on medical education, ethics and a week-long course on Child Fatality Investigation.
We are delighted to be joined in these efforts by a wide range of national and international collaborators with extensive support from the Department of Justice, OJJDP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of Social Services- Office of Child Abuse Prevention, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and Substance Abuse, and Mental Health Services Administration.
Thank you for joining us. Rekindle your passion and help build the future of protecting children in your community and ours.
