2017 Forum

The Center for Children and Families presented our eighth annual forum on “Biobehavioral Effects of Early Adversity: Implications for Prevention and Intervention” on Friday, October 20th from 9am – 2pm at Communities Foundation of Texas. The Forum featured Seth Pollak, Ph.D., from The University of Wisconsin, Madison, as the keynote speaker. Dr. Pollak studies mechanisms of emotional development that address the link between early adverse experiences and later psychological difficulties. His work helps generate new prevention and intervention efforts with children at risk, and have included in-service trainings for public entities providing treatments for children with disruptive behavioral disorders.
