The Kempe Foundation is a proud supporter of the first ever International Congress on Evidence-based Parenting Support (I-CEPS) is here! I-CEPS is a ground-breaking global initiative to advance research, policy, and practice in the field of parenting and family intervention. The theme of the 2023 I-CEPS is promoting well-being and health globally through effective parenting support.
The Congress aims to bring the evidence-based parenting support community together, inspire innovation and collective action, and empower parents and families around the world to benefit the next generation.
When and where?
The first I-CEPS digital event will be held over three days: Tuesday 6 – Thursday 8 June, 2023. Registrations are currently open and we look forward to welcoming you to this truly global online event.
To maximize the potential for knowledge-sharing, networking and global impact the I-CEPS Congress will deliver a range of high-quality activities across four live time zones. If there are multiple sessions held concurrently in different time zone tracks, you are welcome to attend any session. Additionally, keynote and invited speaker sessions will be recorded and remain available for three-months post-Congress on the event platform.
Depending on the time zone in which you live, the Congress will start and end at different times. To learn more about your access times on each day of the Congress, please check out the website’s FAQ page.
