Equity From the Start: 10 years of the EDI and beyond
Researchers and policy‐makers working on these projects come from many diverse backgrounds including: child psychology, pediatrics, epidemiology, statistics, public health, sociology, geography, education. They also come from many countries such as Kosovo, Jamaica, Mexico, Moldova, Mozambique, Indonesia, the Philippines and Jordan.

9th International Looking After Children Conference - Youth in Mind. Beyond Risk: the developmental needs
The conference’s main theme will be “Youth in mind. Beyond risk: the developmental needs.”
- Youth in mind…because young people are everybody's concern and must be a central priority of Québec society.
- Beyond risk: the developmental needs… because we must protect children and youth while allowing them to develop optimally. At the same time, we must not lose sight of the developmental needs of the community, research, organizations with regard to clinical and administrative personnel, future practitioners, cutting-edge practices, and information systems.
This joint conference will be an opportunity to address specific issues related to assessing the needs of children and youth and the strategies for responding to these needs. Issues will be grouped under seven selected topics: approaches centred on the developmental needs of children and youth; parenting support; integrated approaches; participatory approaches; planning of intervention and services; quality of services; and organizational challenges. Issues of stability and continuity cut across all seven topics. Submissions may relate to intervention initiatives (approaches, programs, tools), research results, or administrative and support services.

Progress for Children. A Report Card on Child Protection
Pathways to Resilience II: The Social Ecology of Resilience
This conference, our second, brings together presenters from six continents to explore aspects of resilience such as how we:
• design clinical interventions and social programs to make resilience more likely
• offer informal community supports in ways young people want
• nurture healthy family, school and community relationships
• celebrate cultural traditions that support children’s mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being
• design schools for vulnerable learners
• negotiate social policy that is child and youth friendly
• secure peace and contribute to social justice and citizenship for children
Together, as an interdisciplinary group, we will discuss not only how children beat the odds stacked against them, but how professionals and caregivers can change those odds so that young people around the world experience resilience in culturally meaningful ways.
