Welcome
Second Annual Northeast Juvenile Firesetting Conference
Friday, May 9th, 2008 at The Beechwood Hotel, Worcester, MA
 Firesetting among children and adolescents impacts professionals in fire service, juvenile justice, burn care, mental health, child welfare, public schools, and parents and families. Only through the collective and cooperative efforts of all those involved do we have the chance to effectively intervene with what has been descibed as a behavioral epidemic. The Northeast Conference on Juvenile Firesetting provides a unique opportunity to receive the most up-to-date information, and best practice models for multi-discipinary collaboration, in responding to firesetting behavior.
