scholars, activists, friends, and neighbours, embody/facilitate these rich processes. The focus will be critical reflection on valuing women's and children's situated experience in their diverse life contexts through a feminist perspective to psychological
theories, research, policies, policy development and practice, and exploration of impacts on women and children. </span><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size:10pt">We aim for multi-disciplinary submission of abstracts relevant to the conference
theme and attendance by psychologists, social workers, counsellors, GPs, mental health practitioners, nurses, community workers, school teachers, policy analysts, public health officers. Students are especially invited to attend and encouraged to submit abstracts. </span></p>
