The conference addresses the intersections of child and family wellbeing through a focus on childhood adversity, mental health, and sustainable development at the individual, social, and global levels. Our aim is to seek and co-create knowledge that protects and enhances healthy child development, and skills of treatment and support when mental health problems arise. We want to share and use existing knowledge that foster happy children, caring parents, and responsible citizens – and specify the role and contributions from psychology and other health and social sciences.
