Jewish Family & Child Service of Greater Toronto will hold the 7th Annual High Conflict Forum, Emotional Harm of Children in Separation and Divorce: The Clinical and Legal Conundrum on Thursday, April 19th in conjunction with High Conflict Forum.
Emotional harm to children chronically exposed to conflict has emerged as an important concern in separating and divorcing families. In high conflict custody cases the complexities of emotional harm are not well understood by child welfare professionals, clinicians, lawyers and judges. The absence of a common understanding within and between the clinical and legal communities has often left professionals at odds when working with these families. As a result, these cases are extraordinarily challenging to professionals involved with children, their parents and the family justice system.
Conference Objectives:
