National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect

National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect logo

The 23rd National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN), sponsored by the Children’s Bureau, will be held virtually over the course of 2 weeks in April 2023. The 23rd NCCAN will offer a unique opportunity for thought leadership and action-oriented dialogue around the theme of this year’s conference, “Doing Things Differently: Moving from the Challenge to the Change.” At the 23rd NCCAN, participants will explore strategies for making this vision a reality. Registration is now open!

Our virtual conference venue will offer both live and recorded sessions, posters, and a variety of special features, making the 23rd NCCAN not only an event but a destination for learning, engaging, and accessing diverse resources. Join us to learn more about moving from the challenge to the change.

Sign up for the NCCAN email list to stay up-to-date on NCCAN happenings and related work.
