Child Inclusive Practice Forum 2019
The 2019 Child Inclusive Practice (CIP) Forum Rebuilding, Restoration and Renovation, acknowledges family breakdown is not a finite concept. Reflecting this our speakers will cover wide ranging topics to enrich the practice of Child and Family Therapists, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners, Family Law and Childhood Specialists.
The Child Inclusive Practice (CIP) Forum is a biennial event that brings together mediators, social workers, psychologists and counsellors that work to keep the best interests of children at the forefront of Family Dispute Resolution (mediation). The purpose of the Forum is to enrich the practice of these specialists through learning and networking. The event is organised by FRSA (a not-for-profit peak body) on behalf of the CIP network.
The CIP Forum will be held 3-5 June 2019, at DoubleTree by Hilton Esplanade Darwin, Northern Territory.
