Catching the Wave of Attunement:
Enhancing Relationships in Families, in the VIG reflective process and in organisations
We welcome you to the 8th AVIGuk International Conference which will take place in Newquay, Cornwall on Thursday 27th September 2018
This conference will focus on the importance of attunement in the different relationships involved within the systems surrounding the care of a child and their family. It will focus particularly on the highly complex situations of the family justice system, child protection and mental health.
There will be key notes from international experts, cutting edge international research , choices of UK practice-based workshops and poster presentations from the VIG international community.
We are really pleased to announce that two of the keynote speakers were important to the foundation of the development of VIG in the UK: Colwyn Trevarthen and Claske Houwing:
