Workshop 63: Family Intervention in a Politicized Environment: What Tools Do We Still Have?
In addition to the usual complexities, custody disputes are now occurring against a background of professional and political polarization, widespread dissemination of questionably reliable science and snippets of selective information, and ill-conceived legislation with significant unintended consequences. This increases risks to children and impedes access to services for children and families who are already more vulnerable to developmental, medical, and mental health problems. The presenters will discuss recent developments, along with strategies for providing, justifying, and ordering effective services. Models and tools for early intervention will be addressed.
