Practitioners trained in family dispute or counselling can help parents navigate separation. In addition, practitioners who don’t have specialised expertise in separation or divorce but who may encounter separating families in their practice – such as GPs, social workers, allied health professionals and teachers – can also play an important role in supporting parents, the parent-child relationship and children’s mental health and wellbeing.

This webinar will explore how practitioners can make children’s wellbeing central to conversations with parents who are navigating separation and/or divorce.

This webinar will help you:

understand the potential impacts of separation on parents, the parent–child relationship, and children’s mental health and wellbeing

consider how you can make children’s wellbeing a central aspect of conversations with parents who are navigating separation or divorce

develop ways to support parents’ wellbeing so they can maintain a healthy parent-child relationship and support their children through the separation process.

This webinar will interest a range of practitioners in health, social and community services who have contact with parents during separation and divorce, but who work outside of specialist family dispute resolution or counselling services.
