If you’re a play therapist then you’ve probably had children from high conflict divorced families on your caseload at some point, or maybe even now.
These families can present very challenging issues to navigate in play therapy.
If you’ve worked with children in high conflict family systems then you’ve probably felt helpless, frustrated, and overwhelmed trying to help your young clients.
What are the best practices for working with children in these challenging family systems?
How can you navigate all the systems involved in the child’s family - attorneys, court professionals, parents who aren’t able to co-parent effectively together, and possibly child protective services professionals?
These are highly complex family systems and knowing what resources to access can be overwhelming.
That’s why I LOVE using the resources and support available by the Association for Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC)!
They have AMAZING resources, like Guidelines for Court-Involved Therapists!
AFCC also provide a wealth of other resources.
