Children in Adversity

In today's Britain childhood itself has become a highly stressful experience. A number of recent reports (CAHMS Review 2008) (Children's Society 2009) have highlighted a range of issues contributing to the stress of family life for children.

This two day conference brings together speakers and workshop presenters who are leader in their fields, and aims to examine a number of contexts in which children's lives can be improved and their families supported.

Speakers include Dr Patricia Crittenden, Dr Arlene Vetere, Jacqueline Walker, Professor Peter Stratton, and Gill Gorell Barnes.
