California State University, Chico Continuing Education, with Butte County Family Court Services, Superior Court of California, presents Children in Trauma 2007: Recent Advances in Neuroscience, Attachment Theory, and Traumatology: Implications for Psychotherapists and Related Professions. The two-day professional development conference will be held Jan. 12-13 at the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium on the CSU, Chico campus.

Children in Trauma 2007 will provide a forum for participants to explore the multifaceted issues surrounding children who experience trauma in their lives.

He is a member of the Commission on Children at Risk, and is a co-author for the Report on Children and Civil Society, "Hardwired to Connect."
