DADx High Conflict Separation
Created: 25/04/2024Claire Ross, Training Manager at Shared Parenting Scotland, will guide you through supporting families in high conflict separations, the challenges of shared parenting, the importance of positive communication, and how to encourage resolution in families.
The logistics of supporting families, where parents are living apart, can be difficult at the best of times but when there is high conflict situations between parents, it can be extremely challenging for professionals to approach. Being able to support and signpost in these situations is important as research shows that adult conflict significantly lowers wellbeing for children. In fact, it is not divorce, single parenting, or step-families that creates poorer child outcomes - it is deteriorated parenting practices and adult conflict that predict poor child wellbeing.
Claire will focus on how these themes are addressed through Shared Parenting Scotland's ‘New Ways For Families’ training which promotes positive communication strategies and key tips to dealing with high conflict personalities and ways to reduce confrontation and tension. Lastly, she will touch upon Shared Parenting Scotland's ‘Love, Loss, and Living’ programme that helps support parents that have little or no contact with their children.
The presentation will be followed by Q&As.
