Special Interest Group in Child and Adolescent Psychology

Background and Aims

The Special Interest Group in Child and Adolescent Psychology was reformed following a meeting at the PSI Conference in Ennis in 1997, and the inaugural meeting was held in March 1998. Since 1998, the group has run a very successful annual lecture series, as well as a half day conference in conjunction with the group's AGM.

The aims of the group include:

To develop an awareness of child and adolescent issues within the psychology profession.
To promote child-centred practice research.
To share experience, knowledge, resources and expertise and to develop a support network.
To use our knowledge to inform the public, policy makers and legislators of the needs of children and adolescents.

Membership
