1st International Conference on Parental Burnout
The 1st International Conference on Parental Burnout (ICPB) is a multidisciplinary, international conference bringing together researchers who share an interest in parental burnout.
The ICPB conference provides a unique opportunity to learn about parental burnout from an interdisciplinary perspective, capitalizing on the integration of various disciplinary fields and subfields (e.g., clinical psychology, organizational psychology, history, management, developmental psychology, affective sciences, health psychology, anthropology, psychiatry, public health). In this way, ICPB aims at going exceedingly active in honoring all the academics and professionals dedicated to parental burnout research, prevention, and treatment.
The ICPB Board of this 1st ICPB conference invites you at UCLouvain (Belgium), to continue contributing to the science of parental burnout and celebrate with us the 1st ICPB on December 6-7, 2019. To keep fighting hard to understand better this phenomenon, the format of the conference will allow the presentation of both the results of studies already carried out and the discussion of planned research (--> abstracts of planned studies or studies in progress are acceptable).
