Divorce and Children

Standard - $69.99 $37.09 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

Most mental health professionals understand the all-too-familiar struggle of feeling like a referee rather than an agent of change when working with divorcing parents. Although parents tell us they're focused on their children's best interests, most of us are painfully aware that kids' needs frequently get overshadowed by strong emotions, increased anxiety, and polarization. 


But what if you could offer parents a behind-the-scenes look at the real impact of divorce on children? Imagine being able to motivate your clients to keep their kids at the center, not caught in the middle of their conflict.


In this unique training, Divorce Parenting Expert Christina McGhee will share invaluable strategies and practical tools to help:  

  • Utilize a child-centered approach to help parents make better choices while managing strong emotions 
  • Debunk common myths and perceptions about how divorce impacts children's lives.  
  • Model language that supports the integrity of parent/child relationships  
  • Reframe conversations about critical issues like parenting plans and custody 
  • Learn how to leverage your influence by asking powerful questions, setting intentions, and providing educational support 

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn how to use a child-centered approach as you guide families through this delicate transition. Join us and become a catalyst – let's change divorce for the better.
