Welcome Scientific Chairs

The scientific program of the 2014 Helping Families Change Conference draws together presentations from expert researchers, practitioners, policy makers, disseminators and students from countries all around the world. This year’s HFCC features well-known national and international speakers with expertise in the domain of the family, intervention, implementation science and public policy, with numerous sessions on practical and scientific developments in the area of family intervention.A particular focus of this year’s conference is on enhancing outcomes for vulnerable families. We have a strong program enabling participants to hear about cutting edge work on strategies and innovations related to parenting and family interventions and how these can be tailored and fine tuned to reach those most in need in our communities. Across three days, delegates will not only have the opportunity to hear the latest innovations and developments, but also be able to engage with the challenge of applying the public health framework to evidence-based parenting support and intervention.While enjoying the scientific program, we are sure delegates will want to take the opportunity to explore the exceptional environment of Greater Sydney and surrounding areas. Delegates can stroll down to the iconic Sydney Harbour, take a tour of the Opera House, climb the Harbour Bridge or relax with a refreshing beverage in the historic Sydney Rocks precinct. The immediate area surrounding the conference venue is home to museums, art galleries, world famous restaurants and theatres. A short bus ride will find you on the beach at Bondi, or you could take a ferry to Taronga Park Zoo or picturesque Manly.We are thrilled that Sydney is hosting the 2014 HFCC and we extend our warmest wishes to all delegates and their guests.

Welcome Conference ConvenorIt is with great pleasure that I welcome over 350 delegates to the 2014 Helping Families Change Conference.It is a real treat to be able to host the HFCC in such a beautiful venue, within such a beautiful city, for what is continuing to evolve as one of the world’s leading evidence-based parenting and prevention science conferences. It is especially pleasing to welcome our international and interstate delegates—many of whom are visiting Australia for the first time. There is no doubt the HFCC is a conference of international significance. We have delegates from 20 countries spanning the continents of Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia.We are very excited about this year’s scientific program and equally excited by the various social events which accompany it. Regular attendees often tell us that the HFCC social program—especially the Gala Dinner—is one of the best on the international conference scene. This is a reputation we like to uphold! This year’s Gala Dinner will feature special guest presentations, an awards ceremony and a seven-piece orchestra to help us settle into the evening. We also have sourced some of the finest fresh, local produce and hand-picked tantalising treats to be served to all delegates as the scientific program unfolds across the HFCC. So regardless of what part of the conference you’re participating in, I am confident you will be content with the catering, facilities and services on offer. I would like to express my particular thanks to the NSW Department of Family and Community Services for co-hosting this year’s HFCC and to all of our official sponsors for bringing the event to Sydney. I would also like to thank the scientific committee for piecing together an outstanding program and also thank all of our presenters, delegates and ambassadors for making the HFCC such a wonderful celebration of the work we all do. I look forward to meeting many delegates across the course of the HFCC and hopefully making a few new friends along the way. Enjoy!John Pickering The University of Queensland, Australia

Matthew Sanders, Ph.D.The University of Queensland, Australia

Matthew Sanders is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director of the Parenting and Family Support Centre at The University of Queensland. As the founder of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program, Professor Sanders is considered a world leader in the development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of population-based approaches to parenting and family interventions. Professor Sanders’ presentation will focus on how positive parenting can transform children’s lives and improve the health and well-being of the entire community.

Patricia Kohl, Ph.D.Washington University in St Louis, USA

Patricia Kohl is an Associate Professor at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St Louis. Her scholarship is focused on strengthening, implementing and sustaining evidence-based interventions that improve the quality of care provided to vulnerable children and their families. Through her work, which is informed by nearly a decade of clinical practice in public and non-profit service sectors, she seeks to close the gap between research and community-based practice.Dr Kohl’s presentation focuses on how the trajectory from childhood behaviour problems to other adverse outcomes, such as juvenile offending, adult criminality and violent behaviours, is well-documented and must be disrupted as early as possible when behaviour patterns are most malleable.

Patricia Howlin, Ph.D.King’s College London, UK

Patricia Howlin is Emeritus Professor of Clinical Child Psychology at The Institute of Psychiatry, London, and Professor of Developmental Disorders at The University of Sydney. A particular focus of her research is on the effectiveness of interventions for individuals with autism. She has been involved in evaluations of a variety of therapies, including early intervention programs, non-verbal communication training, teaching theory of mind and supported employment.Professor Howlin’s presentation will explore what is known about the characteristics of children and families that are related to the success of early interventions and how high quality and effective interventions might be made much more widely available, rather than being accessible only to a privileged minority.

Alan Hayes, Ph.D.Australian Institute of Family Studies, Australia

Professor Alan Hayes is the Director of the Australian Institute of Family Studies. His primary research interest is with the pathways children and their families take through life, and the role of families in supporting and sustaining development across life, from infancy and early childhood. Much of his work has focused on disadvantage, with a long-standing interest in prevention and early intervention.Professor Hayes’s presentation will demonstrate how high quality research can underpin both public policy and private practice in powerfully connected ways.

Plenary SessionsEnhancing Impact and Reach with Vulnerable Families | Thursday 11am |

Conor Owens, MSc Health Service Executive, IrelandRachel Calam, Ph.D. The University of Manchester, UK Susan Love, Ph.D. California State University, USA

This plenary session addresses the fundamental question of how universal parenting support can be used to engage and assist vulnerable families. To illustrate the point, this special plenary presentation uses Triple P as an exemplar to demonstrate how different parts of the same parenting intervention can be used to great effect with families from diverse and complex backgrounds. Conor Owens will present the results of a Triple P universal access study. The universal program was delivered across two counties in Ireland through a partnership model to parents of children seven years of age and younger. The key implementation, program and population findings will be discussed.Rachel Calam will describe studies, both completed and ongoing, of families with a parent with bipolar disorder, that have used self-directed and online approaches. In addition, developing work with families that include a parent living with symptoms of schizophrenia will be described, and the particular issues of vulnerability that this work needs to address. Susan Love’s presentation will describe the adaptation of Triple P Online for delivery via a social media platform to a highly-vulnerable population in Los Angeles (parents of poverty, history with child welfare system, prison experience and substance abuse). This presentation will describe the challenges of the population, structure of the research study and data collection, demonstrate the social media features of the program, and present preliminary findings. Couples, Parenting and the Well-being of Children | Friday 10am |

W. Kim Halford, Ph.D. The University of Queensland, Australia

One of the most important assets for healthy child development is a strong, positive relationship between the child’s parents. Social change, including the Information Technology (IT) revolution, is changing how couple relationships

11

are formed, maintained and dissolved, which has important implications for the parenting of children.In this presentation, Kim Halford discusses the content, targeting and delivery of couple relationship education that addresses the new realities of couple relationships and how that can be used to enhance parenting and child well-being. Professor Halford will describe the effects of couple relationship education that utilises IT to provide low-cost, brief interventions to maximise population based impact upon couple relationships. Another focus will be the windows of opportunity across a couple’s life together when they are receptive to, and can benefit from, relationship education. Mental Health of Young People with Developmental DisabilitiesLaunch of NSW Stepping Stones Triple P Research Project | Friday 11am |

Bruce Tonge, MD Monash University, Australia Kate Sofronoff, Ph.D. The University of Queensland, Australia Stewart Einfeld, MD The University of Sydney, Australia

This plenary session brings together an interstate research team to discuss outcomes to date that inform dissemination of Stepping Stones Triple P to families with diverse needs. Stepping Stones Triple P is undergoing a population trial in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales. Lessons learned from the trial to date will be presented—issues of engagement and implementation will be discussed as well as the significant differences between the expressed needs of parents of children with developmental disabilities and those with typically developing children. How do we address the concerns of parents of children with disabilities, such as Fragile X and Velo-Cardio Facial syndrome, alongside parents of children with autism or Down’s syndrome? It is important that the program has the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of presentations so that no parent feels alienated. It is also important that the professionals who deliver the program have adequate information both about the different behavioural phenotypes and about the ways in which the program can assist the parents they see.At the conclusion of the plenary, please join us for the launch of the New South Wales arm of the trial and an overview of the population approach to offering parenting programs to families with a child with a developmental disability.

Triple P MasterclassTriple P and Complex Cases: Enhancing Outcomes with Vulnerable Families

Matthew SandersFounder of the Triple P – Positive Parenting ProgramThe University of Queensland, Australia

Professor Matthew Sanders founded the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program. From humble, fledgling beginnings, Triple P has grown to become one of the world’s leading systems of parenting support and intervention. Today, Triple P is in use across 25 countries, translated into 18 languages with more than 51 000 practitioners delivering this unique multi-level system of intervention to millions of families worldwide.

In this unique Masterclass event, delegates will hear directly from Professor Sanders who will devote the entire session to exploring how the Triple P system, and specific programs within the system, can be applied creatively to enhance clinical outcomes with a range of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of parents and children. The types of vulnerable families discussed will include parents living in financial hardship, parents living with a mental illness, parents with significant relationship problems, and parents of children with histories of antisocial behaviour. The challenges and possible solutions of using a self-regulation framework when parents appear to have limited self-regulatory capability will also be addressed.
