Best Practices for Working with Families or Children of Divorce

Divorce and separation are among the top stressors facing families today, and therapists are being called upon more than ever to help. This foundational 90-minute CEU training builds the framework therapists need to effectively support post-separation families in outpatient, community, and school settings.

Topics include co-parenting vs. parallel parenting models, loyalty conflicts, clinical boundaries, AFCC best practice guidelines, and tools to stabilize families and reduce harm to children. Common clinical pitfalls, role confusion, and legal entanglement will also be addressed.
