A Workshop for Mental Health Professionals
Ethical issues working with the Family
Courts. Providing practical and effective strategies for your daily
practice.
Professionals in the mental health fields commonly deal with children
and families in crisis. With over half of all marriages in the United
States ending in divorce, sometimes involvement with the Family
Court system becomes an unpleasant reality of working with that
population.
Issues involving blended families, attachment and bonding between
non-custodial parents and their children, allegations of sexual
abuse by a divorcing parent, and other clinical concerns may often
end up with service providers on the witness stand. Well meaning
professionals can be negatively impacted by this involvement if
they are unaware of the specialized issues that come with Court
interaction. Worse yet, this involvement can not only have long
term damaging effects on these children and their families, but
on your professional credibility as well.
This seminar, developed in conjunction with Aaron Robb of Forensic
Counseling Services, offers participants the opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the higher standard of practice involved
in working with forensic (Court connected) cases while learning
about current research and knowledge regarding Parental Alienation
Syndrome, abuse allegations in custody cases, and expectations of
attorneys, judges, and other professionals involved with the courts.
Understand how maintaining an informed, up to date, and ethical
practice can prevent the common mistakes seen regularly in the Family
Courts. Learn from legal and counseling professionals who have hundreds
of hours of courtroom time and years of experience in working with
court-mandated cases. Case examples are used extensively and seminar
leaders present on their specific areas of clinical forensic experience.
