Have you ever attended a conference specifically for children with mental health conditions?
If you have, were parents, school and mental health professionals all hearing the same message?
Does having presenters give the most up-to-date information available strike you as important?
Would you like speakers to come and explain early intervention methods to all three groups?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then PIAT is a conference you will want to attend!
