How to Present at the TLC Assembly
Call for Presenters
TLC invites professionals who provide treatment services, specialized programs, trauma-specific resources, and those who conduct research specific to interventions for traumatized children to participate. Three-hour presentations available. Presenters will be expected to offer practical experience to help attendees increase their understanding, knowledge and skills in one of the particular areas of interest listed below. Presentation must include responses and/or practices related to the unique characteristics of traumatic stress in children or adolescents. Presenters must assume responsibility for all travel, lodging and other Assembly related expenses.
2012 Theme: The Experience Matters
If you are considering submitting a workshop proposal please download TLCs white paper: Advancing Trauma Informed Practices. This will give you a framework for preparing your proposal. We look forward to hearing from you!
