This annual Conference presents the latest research, prevention, assessment and intervention techniques concerning various aspects of child, adolescent and adult trauma and maltreatment and the long-term effects if they go untreated. Nationally and internationally recognized presenters and local practioners come together to discuss the latest aspects relating in culturally sensitive ways to those who have been traumatized, abused, and/or victimized. CE's are offered to various professions.

The Ala Moana Hotel, Honolulu, near the world-famous Ala Moana Regional Mall - is the beautiful, convenient venue for this gathering of professionals and survivors.
