Strategies for Success: Enhancing Advocacy for Children, Youth and Families

More than 36 years of experience has gone into developing this premiere three-day training, during which we will give you the most up to date knowledge and tools to advocate for your clients.

We know you have dedicated some of your practice to the representation of children and youth, parents, or the state in juvenile dependency, delinquency, or family law cases. This conference is the opportunity to come together with your fellow advocates to network and receive the most up-to-date resources available.

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of this work, we are bringing in professionals from the fields of medicine, mental health, social work, probation, law enforcement, and education, to both attend our conference and also serve as faculty.

The conference is comprised of Plenary Sessions and Breakout Sessions. Attendees are free to sign up for and attend any 1 of the 5 sessions offered during the Breakout Sessions. New this year, we will have the sessions broken out into 11 different categories.
