5th International Conference on Shared Parenting in Vancouver
RESCHEDULED to December 5-6, 2020,
The International Conference on Shared Parenting is now reformatted to be a livestreamed online conference. As so many are doing, International Council on Shared Parenting (ICSP) conference organizers have had to think flexibly and to pivot from catering and accommodation services over to livestreaming and online conference management services has all been happening in the background.
The theme of the December 5th & 6th conference will remain the same: “The intersection of shared parenting and family violence.”
The event will be hosted by the University of British Columbia (UBC) School of Social Work.
The Scientific Co-Chairs of the conference, Dr. Edward Kruk and Dr. Jennifer Harman, regard the conference as a unique opportunity to engage online with the leading scientific experts and professional practitioners on shared parenting and family violence, and to examine the latest research and best practices in regard to the intersection of the two.
and choose the critical core elements that can be presented and discussed virtually.
Presenters, in real time, will share scientific and practical information on topics including:
*differentiating between high conflict and family violence, and implications for shared parenting arrangements;
*evaluating the impact of shared parenting in the prevention of family violence;
*developing guidelines for family violence education

*developing screening procedures for family violence;
