Multiple Births Canada offers a range of practical support resources for Professionals working with multiple-birth families. From sound advice and tips to information about the biology of multiples, we can provide print and electronic publications on just about any subject that may come up. Raising more than one child at a time can offer some unique challenges and the best way for families to deal with them is to be informed and to know where to seek support. By working together, Multiple Births Canada and the professionals working with multiple-birth families can help provide the information and routing to support networks as necessary. Multiple Births Canada has developed a Professionals' Support Kit - review our Publications section.
We can help you support your families!
You can find professional resources throughout the following areas of this website:
Outside Conferences & Seminars:
The International Congress on Twin Studies (ICTS), initiated in 1974, is a biennial conference (after 2010) of the International Society for Twin Studies (www.ists.qimr.edu.au) now offered every two years. The next conference is planned for April 1st-4th, 2012 in Florence Italy. The flyer is available here, and more information can be found at the event organizer's website. Continue to watch for additional information as it becomes available.
The ICTS will appeal to anyone who is interested in the broad field of research on multiple births and families including genetic epidemiology, psychology, psychiatric and behavioral genetics, endocrinology, obstetrics, pediatrics, ophthalmology, and much more. In addition, the International Council of Multiple Birth Organizations (ICOMBO) will also be meeting throughout this time, as well as hosting workshops that will be of interest to delegates from national organizations supporting families of multiples world-wide.
