Van 10 tot 12 oktober 2012 gaat in Den Haag een eerste Europees congres over opvoedingsondersteuning door.  Het congres wordt georganiseerd door het Nederlands Jeugdinstituut samen met de Universiteit van Amsterdam en andere organisaties zoals Council of Europe en Eurochild, Eurofound. 

The Netherlands Youth Institute together with the University of Amsterdam is organising an European conference on parenting support from 10 - 12 October 2012 in The Hague, supported by Eurochild and the Council of Europe. The conference is further supported by the Bernard van Leer foundation, the Netherlands organisation for health research and development, the city of the Hague and the Ministry of Health.

The conference offers a multi-professional and multidisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners and policy makers to share views and experiences by arranging plenaries, workshops and informal social meeting places. National and European perspectives will contribute to a better understanding of what works in parenting support. The objective of the conference is to exchange knowledge on what is currently known about the usefulness of parent skills training programmes for parents at different family life-stages and in different social settings and circumstances and, in particular, to find out what is currently known about the scope of parenting skills training programmes and about practices concerned with their delivery. The overall message is 'Think Parents!'.

We now invite researchers, policy and decision makers and practitioners to send in abstracts for presentations. The conference consists of three strands with each four workshops, bringing together research, policy and practice. Each strand will have 10 presentations in total of 20 minutes. Please use the format on www.nji.nl/thinkparents. Send in the abstracts before 15 April 2012. Selections will be made before 1 May 2012. Registration for the conference will start on 1 May 2012.
