Expanding Horizons for the Early Years: Looking Back to Transform the Future – conference in Toronto, Canada, April, 2015

From the organisers: It is important for practitioners of all disciplines to be aware of social, emotional and cognitive development through screening and assessment approaches and to be able to support parents and each other when problems arise.

Because of the significant amount of development occurring in these first few years, ALL professionals working with infants and families have the capacity to have a significant impact on a child's life trajectory and improve outcomes through prevention and early intervention.

This year's theme - Looking Back to Transform the Future - will allow us to explore social, biological and environmental determinants and the impact of risk on mental health outcomes for infants and young children, as well as integral topics for promoting mental health: understanding brain development, self-regulation, attachment, parent/ child attunement, observation, assessment, intervention and support for infants and families.
