Helping each other help children — worldwide research networks in child and adolescent mental health

Abstract

The International Congress of the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) takes place every other year. It is an opportunity for specialists from around the world to meet, exchange ideas and plan new projects. Since 2006, the Donald J. Cohen (DJC) Travel Fellowship has been an integral part of the Congress. It aims to foster the professional development of ‘emerging leaders’ in child and adolescent mental health (Adler et al , 2007).
