Conference Description
Join colleagues from around the world in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida to take a look back - and a bold look forward - at the most impactful contributions of coparenting theory, research and clinical practice in improving the lives of families raising infants, toddlers and young children. "Thinking three" has become our field's metaphor for infant-family mental health. Responsible work with families of infants and toddlers always attends to how children's socioemotional health is supported by the child's full family network - looking beyond just child-parent dyads to recognize and honor the child's relationship bonds with all caregiving adults.
In a day filled with presentations, dialogue, and breakout sessions centered around the concept of coparenting in diverse family systems, family scholars and practicing professionals will have opportunities to consider and discuss key elements of applied research and professional practice.
