The International Conference is sponsored by the European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ESCAP) and organised jointly together with the Hungarian Association for Child Neurology and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The Conference will take place in Budapest, Hungary between 22-26 August 2009. The main theme of the conference will be the improvement of the quality of life for children. Psychiatric disorders are those that – besides the sociocultural conditions and effects of organic diseases – can influence the quality of life for children and young people in the most negative way. The human rights of children and young people with mental illness and/or learning disabilities must be taken seriously.
