Divorces involving children can be complex, especially so if there are elements of trauma. With an enhanced awareness and understanding of the challenges these dynamics present, legal professionals can make better decisions, provide better advice, and better position themselves as an advocate for their client.

This webinar will explore topics including:

An overview of attachment theory and why it is important and applicable to family law
How attachment needs impact the presentation of realistic estrangement and “alienation”
Types of trauma children experience within these dynamics
Long term implications of childhood trauma
Why it is important to ask the right questions and/or defer to/consult with a trauma informed mental heath expert

Faculty: AJ Gajjar, The Trauma Healing Parent
