NW Children’s Fund presents: Childhood Adversity and the Developing Brain, Using Neuroscience to Inform Effective Interventions.
Featuring:
Dr. Kate McLaughlin
Keynote Speaker, Moderator
Assistant Professor of Child Clinical Psychology, University of Washington

With Panelists:
Childhaven - Childhood trauma therapy
HopeSparks - Mental health services and family support
King County Sexual Assault Resource Center - Sexual assault-related services for people of all ages
