Objectives

Upon completion of each session, participants will be able to:

check Identify the most common pitfalls experienced by clinicians working with high-conflict co-parents as well as how to avoid those risks
check Articulate the most common effects that crises such as natural disasters or societal division and trauma have on children and family dynamics
check Review strategies for structuring therapy from intake through discharge to maximize therapeutic effectiveness for a child, while minimizing the negative impact that parental conflict or divorce has on a child's treatment and well-being
check List recommendations for structuring clinical practice, such that participants leave with concrete strategies for improving therapeutic outcomes and decreasing professional risk
check Recognize the stress or trauma impact on children and families and demonstrate the ability to develop concrete clinical strategies for responding to and supporting children and families during times of crisis
