Through research, real-life examples, and the voices of children themselves, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how children experience separation at different developmental stages.

Working with families navigating separation and divorce requires specialized clinical knowledge, ethical decision-making, and a clear understanding of the psychologist's role. This workshop provides an overview of best practices for psychologists working with separated and divorced families, with particular attention to the importance of language, ethical considerations, and maintaining a child-focused approach. Participants will explore the distinction between clinical assessments and Section 30 assessments, the principles underlying the Best Interests of the Child standard, and key ethical issues that arise in high-conflict family matters. The workshop will also highlight the specialized competencies required for this area of practice and discuss ethical considerations specific to conducting Section 30 assessments.
