Description

 

Do you work with children of high-conflict families who are caught in the middle of toxic and never ending parental conflict? These children are torn between both parents and forced to lie or take sides—afraid to love one parent while in the presence of the other. They suffer from fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, self-hatred, and lack of trust. And, they are resentful, depressed, anxious, and angry. Their oppositional behaviors get them into serious trouble, landing them in the juvenile court system. If you are frustrated because your strategies do little to improve your client’s mental and emotional health—look no further!

Join high-conflict family expert Monica Johns, LPC, NCC, and learn concrete family-based strategies that have a positive and immediate impact on these children, including such as:

  • Integrating client-centered techniques including Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Emotional-Focused Therapy into therapy
  • Tools to assess parental alienation behaviors and Hostile Aggressive Parenting
  • Techniques that guide co-parents to move past their toxic hostility, anger, revenge, manipulation, resentment
  • Activities to teach families non-hostile communication, conflict resolution and relationship-building skills
  • Methods to detect and navigate parental and child manipulation and agendas
  • Activities that teach children self-care, resiliency and coping strategies
  • Steps to becoming a successful court-appointed therapist

After this seminar, you will be able to evaluate these high conflict families, assess their needs, make recommendations, and educate other professionals on the damage of this never ending conflict. Your new skills will open the door to a new, healthier family structure and improve your clinical success rate!
