Aggression toward Family/Caregivers in Childhood & Adolescence (AFCCA) describes a pattern of behaviour in childhood or adolescence, characterized by aggressive behaviour by a youth toward family members or other caregivers.

This panel discussion explores innovative approaches to supporting parents and caregivers of youth experiencing AFCCA, through blended peer support communities and evidence-based interventions focused on equipping parents and caregivers' to improve their well-being, to best support their children's intensive needs. Panelists will discuss learnings from deep family engagement, development of new clinical best practice supporting family preservation, and structured program evaluations.
