Description:

More than one million children each year are affected by divorce and family separation. Half of these children will be raised in families where parents remain in conflict.  The goal of cooperative parenting is good parenting between the child’s homes and putting the needs of the child first.  This workshop provides important information about the cooperative parenting paradigm, a model that works to protect and keep children from being negatively impacted by the adult conflict often seen during and after divorce.

Through didactic information, video demonstrations, and small group activities, participants will learn statistics of divorce effects, learn psychological tasks of adults and children in divorce, be able to identify 7 influencing factor’s on the child’s adjustment, know how to set common goals for improved parenting, and receive an overview of the child therapy for establishing personal boundaries.

A licensure renewal station will be provided during the NASW-GA Pre-Conference workshops to assist Pre-Conference attendees in renewing licenses online to meet the Current Licensure Cycle Renewal deadline.
