IASSIDD Academy Conducts 10 Workshops

The IASSIDD Academy conducted 10 pre-congress workshops as part of IASSIDD’s World Congress program in Glasgow, Scotland, August 6-9, 2019. The workshops were very successful, with 170 delegates attending. Excellent feedback was provided. The topics included interventions, research approaches, standards of care, and ethical issues. Some workshops featured co-leaders who have expertise by experience, and this added to the richness of the scholarly knowledge presented by the workshop leaders. The Academy extends its sincere thanks to all the leaders who generously shared their time, energy, and expertise.
