Overview
The purpose of this course is to provide an orientation and framework for clinicians who are interested in working with clients, both individuals and families, who are going through all stages of separation and divorce.
With approximately 50% of the population in the US experiencing divorce, many clinicians find that they are struggling to manage the client’s presentation surrounding the myriad of issues when they emerge in the clinical process. This course will provide clinicians with clinical skills and knowledge to help their clients to cope with stress, conflict and relationship struggles, due to separation and divorce. Participants will learn practical techniques and skills to assist clients with communication skills, co-parenting, reunification, parenting support, interpersonal violence, blended families, impact on children, ethics, parenting plans and personality disorders to address the many facets that this transition presents with, when working with clients of all ages.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Identify all the aspects of what the divorce process entails and how it impacts clients.
- Examine clinical skills to treat the impacts of separation or divorce.
- Identify & assess how the specific aspects of divorce (such as single parenting, communication with ex-partner) affect the individual as well as the whole family system.
- Describe how personality disorders, infidelity, IPV, poor communication skills, and conflict can be addressed in the clinical setting.
- Summarize the different stages of separation or divorce.
