It's been an exciting year for the CFCA information exchange.

In 2018, we welcomed three new team members, published our 50th CFCA paper, and have seen significant increases in the number of people subscribing to our newsletter, reading our publications and participating in our webinars.

We produced 9 new papers and practitioner resources across a range of key topics, including developmental differences associated with child maltreatment, therapeutic residential care and diagnosis in child mental health. We also published a number of new resource sheets and updated our existing ones, and we hosted 10 webinars with over 12,750 participants.

Our highlights for the year are below.

Thank you for engaging with us this year. We always love hearing from you and how we can support your work in the child, family and community welfare sector.
