With approximately 50% of the population in the US experiencing divorce, many clinicians find that they encounter challenges in managing clients as they present an array of divorce related issues that arise during the clinical process. This course will provide practical skills such as co-parent counseling, reunification counseling, working with the effects of divorce on children, and parenting support skills, to address the many facets that this transition presents when working with clients of all ages.
As clinicians we have seen the stuck client. In this session, we will discuss effective ways to assist your clients in managing anger and emotions during interactions with their ex-partner. Our goal is to guide them in addressing the multiple losses associated with the divorce process, fostering their growth in manageable incremental steps. The workshop will delve into the complexities of the divorce process and explore the myriad issues connected to it.
