About The Conference

The Northeast Child Abuse Conference (The Conference) is the region's premier training  for professionals who respond to cases of child abuse.  Established in 2009 as The Bivona Child Abuse Summit, this cutting-edge multi-disciplinary training is a must for anyone who works in a Child Advocacy Center or Partner Agency. The Conference is ideal for law enforcement, child protective services, mental health professionals, social workers, victim/family advocates, school personnel, legal/prosecution staff, forensic interviewers, child advocacy center staff, and more.

The speakers and workshops are presented by regional and national experts on a wide variety of topics. The goal of The Conference is to educate professionals about collaborative ways to prevent, treat, and investigate child abuse.
