The 15th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect was held April 18 to 23, 2005, at the
Boston Sheraton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts with approximately 2,300 participants.
The conference theme, "Supporting Promising Practices and Positive Outcomes: A
Shared Responsibility," promotes interagency collaboration, as well as collaboration across
disciplines, in order to maximize resources and provide more effective services to
protect children and strengthen families.
The Children's Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, sponsored this conference at which professionals and
volunteers discussed a broad range of policy, research, program, and practice issues
concerning the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse and
neglect. Roundtable discussions, seminars, experiential learning opportunities, poster and
plenary sessions, and workshops brought together many disciplines and perspectives
to foster new working relationships, exchange information on research, and
review practice issues and model programs.
