Renowned child psychiatrist from the Child Trauma Academy in Texas will lead us through a program focused on the multi-dimensional effects of trauma, abuse and neglect, from childhood through to parenthood.
Dr. Perry will educate participants on understanding and managing children and adults in divorce, separation and child protection matters. Assisted by our panel of legal and mental health experts, Dr. Perry will question our beliefs on traditional approaches to working with challenging families and challenge our assumptions on policy frameworks. Attendees will be taught important skills to add to our professional toolboxes, including how to: (a) recognize the effects of abuse and neglect on children and adults; (b) identify the best practices for treatment; and, (c) apply effective techniques to improve the outcomes for children and families.

He is an engaging and inspirational speaker and has been featured in a wide range of national media outlets including: National Public Radio, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Nightline, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, the Oprah Winfrey Show, Time, Newsweek, and The Rolling Stone.
