2012 – Glasgow – Helping Families Change Conference

The 2012 HFCC was held in Glasgow, Scotland. Over 500 delegates from 16 countries attended the conference from February 8-10. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the very successful Helping Families Change Conference held in Glasgow, 8^th – 10^th February 2012.

The conference was coordinated by the National Health Service (Scotland). From the NHS:

“We hope you found the conference programme inspiring and we were particularly pleased to have had so many influential speakers presenting at the conference. This, added to the many high quality abstracts received, provided a variety of workshop and symposia presentations offering something for everyone. Of course no conference would have been complete without a superb social programme. We are grateful to the City of Glasgow for hosting the Civic Reception on Wednesday 8th February and on Thursday 9th February delegates enjoyed an entertaining conference dinner held in the unique Old Fruitmarket. We were thrilled that Glasgow hosted the 2012 conference and hope you enjoyed your time in this vibrant city.
