Description:

Global Institutes have attracted many US and international professionals interested in global issues and the most recent research findings in the field of Child Abuse and Neglect in selected regions of the world. ISPCAN welcomed this opportunity to contribute to the field's body of international knowledge on issues of Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment. Our Council, Faculty and members committed to organizing the Global Institutes by providing experts from different countries, representing a multidisciplinary cross-section of the field. We believe that our CAN experts' contribution to this program was rich and valuable and provided San Diego Conference attendees with an opportunity not only to learn, but also to discuss international CAN issues and facilitate networking.

The Annual San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment will be held from January 26-30, 2009.
