As COVID-19 is hugely affecting the way we meet, communicate and share knowledge, the 19th International ESCAP Congress is postponed until 2022. ESCAP are determined not to let the restrictions affect how often we meet, therefore, we hosted a 1-day virtual event on the 25th June 2021. This event had 5 keynote presentations on diverse topics that are relevant in child and adolescent psychiatry in today's challenging world.
You can still register for the event and use the on-demand function. Click on the button to be forwarded to the platform.
