16th Symposium on Child Custody: Workshop 24 Evaluation |
Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Tearing Down Silos to Heal the Family Unit
Families navigating custody disputes must manage layers of complicated issues including the mental health of parents and children, financial concerns, cultural implications, family violence, trauma, and long-standing communication and control issues. In this workshop, participants will explore the roles of the many different professionals involved in addressing these challenges, how these professionals can or should collaborate to help the family, brainstorm new ways to think creatively about custody disputes, and address ethical considerations that may arise when professionals from different disciplines collaborate to help the family unit.
