Professor Eamon McCrory, Anna Freud’s CEO and Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology at UCL, will be our keynote speaker this year.
Eamon has led Anna Freud since September 2024, following his long-standing role as Co-Director of the Clinical, and Education and Training teams. He is also a Professor at UCL and Co-Founder and Co-Director of the UK Trauma Council.
His talk, ‘Trauma and the Social World’, will draw on his extensive research into the complex links between brain development, childhood trauma, the social world and mental health - including recent work on the impacts of verbal abuse on children’s brains, perceptions and relationships.

The full agenda will be shared in September, which will include sessions featuring real-life examples from CORC members, showcasing how evidence and evaluation have been used to enhance their services and support for children and young people.
You'll also hear about projects that have involved the participation of children, young people and parents and we'll also be launching our new Neurodiversity guidance for using outcome measures with children and young people.
