ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for a crucial event that shines a light on one of society's most pressing yet often overlooked issues: the impact of family violence on our most vulnerable—babies and infants. Featuring renowned experts in the field, this event will delve deep into the unseen scars left by family violence and coercive control on infant mental health. 

This day will be of interest to social workers, psychologists, lawyers, doctors, caseworkers, counsellors, support workers, policy makers and advocates working with, and interested in understanding, supporting and changing the future for these families through our collective work.
