Early Bird Registration for the June 7-10, 2010 Pathways to Resilience II Conference in Halifax Canada is available until April 12th.
More than 300 presenters from 25 countries will be sharing their work at this international event.
The Resilience Research Centre (www.resilienceresearch.org), its Principal Investigator, Michael Ungar, and the Centre's partners around the world invite you to an international gathering in Halifax, Canada, June 7-10, 2010. 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.
