The Jack Tizard International Online Conference is always eagerly anticipated bringing evidence-based practice, early intervention, and translating research into real-world care for children and young people. This year we focus on ‘Trauma: Trauma: Evidence, Practice, and Implementation Challenges‘.
The sessions dive into the practical challenges of identifying and treating trauma in children and young people, with an emphasis on implementation issues, barriers to delivering evidence-based treatments, and work with specific populations (e.g. children in care, neurodivergent young people).
Confirmed speakers; Professor Rachel Hiller, Dr. Jess Richardson, Dr. Connor Kerns, Dr. Stephanie Lewis, and Professor Dr. Elisa Pfeiffer, and Richard Meiser-Stedman. Professor Andrea Danese will chair.

She is also a Reader in Clinical Psychology Education at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London.
Professor Rachel Hiller – I am Professor of Child & Adolescent Mental Health and lead the Child Trauma and Recovery research group. Our research is in the field of complex child trauma and mental health. Broadly, this work spans three areas: (i) the identification of key psychological and social processes linking trauma and maltreatment exposure the mental health and wellbeing; (ii) the development and testing of scalable mental health intervention for trauma-exposed young people; and (iii) the implementation of existing best-evidenced practice within and across social care and mental health services. Much of my research is focused on improving the identification and support of the mental health needs of care-experienced young people, including a focus on service pathways and access between children’s social care and mental health services. Our research is co-developed with care-experienced young people, caregivers, and professionals.
Dr. Connor Kerns has conducted and published studies on a broad array of topics including the role of paternal age in likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (heron autism), the co-occurrence of childhood psychopathologies, and differential predictors of CBT efficacy for child anxiety. Her present research focuses on the varied presentation and phenomenology of anxiety in autism and the implications of this variation for effective anxiety measurement and treatment. Dr. Kerns’ research also focuses on the understudied area of stressful and traumatic experiences in youth and young adults with autism. Current studies focus on better understanding sources and expressions of traumatic stress in autistic youth and young adults, developing and testing novel measures of stressful experiences and PTSD and considering cognitive mechanisms, including social-emotional processing and memory, that may enhance or diminish coping following a stressor for autistic individuals.
