We warmly invite you to the 3rd edition of the scientific and training conference “Identity and Uncertainty: Developmental Trajectories, Risky Behaviors, Adverse Outcomes”, which will take place on November 21–22, 2025, in Warsaw.
This year, we will explore the question: What kind of adult can a struggling adolescent become? Taking into account the social context that shapes development from childhood to adulthood, we have invited a diverse group of specialists to collaborate. They will present approaches to assessment and support. Both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy will be discussed as therapeutic options.
The conference will be a wonderful opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, as well as to foster collaboration among professionals from various scientific disciplines. We encourage you to participate in lectures, discussion panels, and workshop sessions.
