Children in the thick of post divorce conflict are at increased risk of emotional, behavioral, academic, social, and substance abuse issues. Timely and effective intervention for these kids and their parents is key to reducing these risks and promoting healthy adjustment. In this workshop, child-family psychologist and author Dr. Steve OBrien will offer a structured yet flexible approach to transform post divorce conflict to support children therapeutically while empowering their parents to shift from conflict to cooperation.
