Conferences and Events
The Missouri Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (MO-AFCC)
The MO-AFCC was created to bring cutting-edge educational opportunities to professionals working with high-conflict families in Missouri. This goal is accomplished through the sponsorship conferences and events throughout the year. The focus of these events vary, and each provides invaluable information for attorneys, mediators, therapists, evaluators, guardian ad litems, judges, and other professionals who work with families.
Events sponsored by the MO-AFCC include an annual spring conference, as well as other conference events throughout the year. Additionally,the MO-AFCC offers free regional lunch-and-learn and happy hour sessions across the state. These educational events provide a forum where Missouri professionals can share information with others working with families experiencing child-custody disputes. All sessions are free, and participants are encouraged to bring a brown-bag lunch to the events. Upcoming events are detailed below, and our site also offers a list of selected past events.
