Program Overview
The High Conflict Program specializes in training therapists to work with separated/divorced families who are or have been court involved. The stress and emotional drain of going through separation/divorce is substantial and when a family is also court involved, the additional stress and pressure can feel enormous and unmanageable. As professionals, working with this population requires additional training and specialized knowledge. Our team is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of therapists so that they can help families through this difficult time.
