Texas Judicial Summit June 3, 2012

The TCU Institute of Child Development is honored to present the third Texas Judicial Summit on June 4-6, 2012 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. With over 65,000 victims of child abuse and neglect in Texas last year, our courts have a profound impact on the lives of thousands of at-risk children and families. This statewide conference is designed to improve the handling of cases of child abuse and neglect with insights from the fields of child development and child welfare.
Nationally recognized speakers will present current research findings, and provide strategies for making trauma-informed placement decisions and recommendations. Learning about these issues will empower judges, attorneys, and child welfare professionals to handle cases in a manner that prevents further trauma to the child victim, and improves outcomes for children and youth in care.
