Boston 2010: A Huge Success
AACRC's annual conference, held in Boston, MA in April, proved to be an overwhelming success. Collaborating with the Alliance for Children and Families' National Leadership Conference on Child Welfare Issues, AACRC's traditional focus on residential treatment was expanded to include sessions on leadership in the child welfare field.
Trauma informed care and Building Bridges were emphasized in Boston, with many session incorporating these themes. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Stuart Ablon, Janice LeBel, Beth Caldwell, Dr. Gary Blau were some of the plentiful experts present to offer new and innovative information to all conference attendees.
