Conference description:
"Together, we will explore how children, youth, their families and communities from different cultures and contexts overcome adversity and thrive. At this, our second conference, researchers concerned with child and adolescent development, family processes, and the social determinants of health will meet front-line service providers, child advocates, and policy makers from many different professional backgrounds. Our goal is to help those attending share what we know globally about the interaction between psychological factors and the social, economic, political and cultural forces that shape children's and adolescents' pathways to resilience when they are seriously disadvantaged."
