ESCAP hosts a biannual event with over 1500 attendees of child and adolescent psychiatrists and allied professionals, we use these events to help publicise our activities and those of the projects mentioned above. ESCAP runs educational events and research academies to support the training of early career psychiatrists and push forward policy issues that relate to their future work. ESCAP's official journal is the European Child + Adolescent Psychiatry (ECAP) with special ESCAP Communications articles on European issues. We have several articles published in the journal including ESCAP Policy Position Statements, as well as the CovCAP survey (phase 1 and 2) looking at the impact of COVID-19 on European Child and adolescent psychiatric services. We use our website and social media platforms as a way to disseminate information and communicate important academic, clinical and policy issues to the European community who specialise in child and adolescent psychiatry.
