Conference Description:
The only national conference dedicated solely to issues that impact children, youth and young adults with behavioural health challenges and their families. Our conference focus is inclusive of children and youth who experience complex diagnostic challenges.
Did you know that 1 in 5 children in America experiences social, emotional and behavioural challenges? One undisputed constant in our society is that all children who survive childhood and adolescence will become adults. For children who experience untreated behavioural health disorders, this typically results in adults who continue to struggle with symptoms, who become parents and who perpetuate this cycle. The impact of this reoccurring cycle is felt throughout our society.
For over 25 years, the National Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health has been the national advocacy organization with families as its sole focus, playing an important role in helping children, youth and their families whose lives are impacted by mental health challenges. This important work is supported largely by the generous donors like you who contribute to our cause.
Our 29th Annual Conference will feature many great workshops and speakers this year, joining hundreds of mental health advocates and professionals from across the nation as we work to educate and empower children, youth, and families!
Conference Objectives:
The National Federation's Annual Conference is the premier event for children and youth with mental health challenges and their families. Bringing together family members, young adults, and professionals in a safe setting, free from stigma and one that celebrates skills and successes, our annual conference generates a large amount of discussion on the current issues and trends pertaining to children's mental health, from the perspective of a family-driven and youth-guided approach
Our conference offers professionals and families opportunities to:
• Improve policy and enhance practices for children and youth who have or are at risk of experiencing behavioural health challenges.
• Acquire skills and strategies that will improve outcomes for children and youth with behavioural health challenges.
• Gain knowledge of best practices and latest research in children’s mental health and related fields. • Enrich understanding of different perspectives and common goals in support of all children, youth and families.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
