Description:
This year’s conference, Children’s Rights: Building Resilience, Protecting from Harm, and Fostering Well-Being Among Our World’s Children invites presentations (poster format, paper, roundtable, and workshop) that explore challenges faced by our children, as well as policies, programs, and practices that protect them and build opportunities for their increased well-being. These presentations may be original research, theoretical framework(s), clinical interventions, pedagogy, and/or policy/advocacy. The conditions that compromise children’s resilience and jeopardize their well-being are complex and multifaceted; they require equally complex and interdisciplinary responses. Scholars, practitioners, students, and agents of social change from all disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals.
