Kids First Professional Education Committee presents: 2013 Annual Fall Conference
GETTING FROM "NO WAY" TO "OK":  Divorce Professionals Share Their Secrets for Successfully Working with Families in Conflict
Friday, October 25, 2013 8:30 - 3:30 pm
This workshop is intended for professionals who specialize in working with separating and divorcing parents entrenched in conflict.
We have gathered leaders from the constellation of divorce professionals in Southern Maine to teach their expertise in moving parents away from insisting that their perspective is the only correct perspective. Our goal is to help you help parents arrive at a more neutral stance that fosters reaching consensus that everyone can live with and tolerate in order to have the best possible outcome for their children.
We will be addressing how best to take current theory and practice in family law and employ these trends across disciplines.
