Families Interrupted: Helping Parents and Children Heal After Divorce

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.
