FIU sponsors internationally acclaimed mental health forum


FIU co-sponsored the internationally acclaimed Niagara in Miami Conference Feb. 16-18 at the Hilton Miami Downtown. The child mental health forum, founded by William E. Pelham, director of the FIU Center for Children and Families, focuses on state-of-the-art interventions for mental health problems in children and adolescents.

The interdisciplinary conference offered lectures and intensive, hands-on training. Professionals learned the principles of evidence-based psychosocial, educational and combined interventions. This included child-based treatments, classroom and school interventions, parent training and prevention programs for a range of internalizing and externalizing disorders.
