Strengthening Connections is back! A few years after our widely popular conference, we're excited to bring you Round Two. Join providers, researchers, and consumers from across the country in the live music capital of the world for three days of learning and sharing. Designed to increase your knowledge-base of parent-child attachment in families affected by HIV, substance abuse, and trauma, this conference will highlight:

• the latest evidence-based programs and promising practices working to promote attachment and reduce the effects of trauma in families;
• new lessons learned on effective ways to mitigate or remove institutional barriers that discourage parent-child attachment; and
• programs and policies designed to promote attachment in culturally diverse and immigrant families.

Confirmed Plenary Speakers:

• Dr. Mary Claire Heffron
• Dr. Chandra Ghosh Ippen
• Dr. Bruce Perry
• Dr. Stephanie Covington
• Tonier Cain

This event will be held at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX
