Divorce can feel like the end of a family—but for social workers, it’s a chance to help clients reshape what family looks like moving forward. This interactive workshop offers tools to support clients through the emotional upheaval of divorce and the stress of decision-making and negotiation. We’ll review divorce basics and common process options so clinicians can help clients make informed choices without giving legal advice. Participants will learn how to support clients through the grief and opportunities that accompany divorce, guide parents in reducing harm to their children, and offer practical strategies to improve co-parenting. With a focus on both loss and possibility, this workshop equips social workers to support families in flux with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
This session offers 3 CEUs for Social Work.
Learning Objectives:
