This conference will explore multiple perspectives on child maltreatment, with an eye towards examining how new clinical, legal, and academic approaches might improve our society's response to child maltreatment. The presenters will explore legal, clinical, and system barriers that may interfere with child protection goals and explore new creative solutions for helping children caught in the cycle of intergenerational violence and abuse. Presenters will examine misinformation in the media, academia, and the courtroom about child maltreatment that may impede child protection goals and highlight scientific evidence concerning the physical and emotional consequences of child maltreatment. The conference will end with a panel discussion that will empower practitioners to think creatively about new directions for dealing with child maltreatment in their own locality.
