Call for Proposals
We know you are just as excited to submit a proposal to present at the 2019 PCIT Convention as we are to receive them!
The convention theme is:
Inspired Globally | Implemented Locally
Cultivating Diverse Roots
Programming will emphasize international efforts and local/regional contributions toward PCIT practice. We will also highlight the broad importance of making PCIT accessible todiverse families and clinicians through inclusiveresearch, clinical practice, and training. We encourage cross pollination, collaboration, and expansion across invisible lines to push PCIT toward the next innovation.
Similar to past conventions, we anticipate soliciting symposia, individual paper presentations, panel discussions, clinical mini-workshops, solutions-focused groups,and poster sessions.
Additionally, in response to frequent listserv requests for research and data to share with consumers and stakeholders on specific topics, we are introducing a new category of submission called a Research in Brief. The end result will be a written synopsis of the literature on a pressing topic within or impacting PCIT. The document will be formatted as a take-home resource meant to help readers better understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision, all with research backing.
