Families Interrupted:
Helping
Parents and Children
Heal
After Divorce
Presented by Rocky Spino, MS, NCC, LPC
Damage from a divorce can be both immediate and enduring. When parents are bogged down in bitterness or embattled over custody, opportunities for children to bounce back get pushed even further away.
Join Rocky Spino, an expert on effectively working with children and parents through the traumatic phases of divorce, for this important workshop.
You will fully examine the impact of divorce, and confront and overcome attitudes that are obstacles to your clients' healing.
Drawing from Rocky's extensive experience with family court referrals, you will take home powerful strategies for helping put the pieces of childhood back together and prevent parenthood from falling apart.
Workshop Highlights
- Dismantle myths that block families of divorce from moving forward
- Create a unifying force when working with moms, dads and disunity
- Plan therapeutic escape routes for kids in the crossfire
- Help arguing ex-couples become exceptional co-parents
Learning Objectives
- Identify common needs for children in a divorce and strategies for meeting those needs
- Discuss ways of preserving emotional closeness between parent and child after physical separation
- Create secure pathways for kids when households split apart
- Summarize how to help parents transform post-marital tensions into mutual child raising
