Child Abuse & Neglect: Prevention, Assessment and Treatment

October 22-23, 2012

The Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth, MI 48170

This year’s 2 day conference features noted national and Michigan experts who will address a range of topics in the field of child abuse prevention, assessment, and treatment. Besides keynotes and a plenary, attendees will have a choice of over 30 workshops focusing on recent advances and best practices in the areas of prevention, medical issues, child advocacy, and law enforcement.

Using past conference evaluations and topic suggestions, our goal is that you will gain knowledge about practice in the field of child abuse throughout the conference and be able to apply it to your own work. Participants will also have opportunities to interact and network with other professionals in the field.

The conference is designed for social workers, child welfare specialists in child abuse and neglect, foster care, adoption and juvenile justice services, physicians, lawyers, nurses, mental health and other medical professionals, law enforcement, child advocacy, and educators.

Please note: As this is our first year of ‘going green,’ we are using email to inform potential attendees of our annual conference. So please forward this to anyone you think might be interested or might have email filters that block unknown senders.
We will be sending everyone another email later in the month, once we complete the website. Registration for this event will be an online process for the first time and we will notify you when it opens in August. We are very excited about the many changes this year and hope to see you in October!
