What is TWC?The Together We Can Conference is a multi-day conference with over 50 workshops, institutes, keynotes and more! The multi-disciplinary event that is considered the place to go for child abuse and neglect training for CASA, CAC, Judges, parents' attorneys, children's attorneys, social workers, Indigent Defenders, DCFS workers, law enforcement professionals, education professionals, mental health professionals, and more!
The TWC conference began in Louisiana in 2002 as a merger between two events that were very similar and often had the same speakers - the Families in the Balance Conference and the Justice for Children Conference. Since that time, several other organizations have begun collaboratively working with us annually to present this conference. The Together We Can conference will offer in-depth learning opportunities which address policy and practice concerns. There will be keynote addresses focused on the latest trends and institute sessions allowing more intensive attention to the selected topics. Awards will be presented during Keynote sessions to honor those who have demonstrated commitment above and beyond on behalf of children.
