Presented (via Zoom) by Barbara Burr, Esquire and Lisa Herrick, PhD
Friday, Sep 18, 2026, 8:30am—5pm
Designed for mental health professionals, attorneys, mediators, and Collaborative professionals who work with parents on issues related to separation and divorce. Focuses on assisting parents in developing each clause of a deep and durable parenting plan using a child development perspective. The curriculum will also offer a legal perspective on parenting/custody issues that coaches, attorneys and/or mediators need to keep in mind. This curriculum will be a “nuts and bolts look” at creating each piece of a plan, including language regarding legal custody/decision-making authority and protocols, options for weekly schedules, as well as options to accommodate holidays and special days. This program will focus on how to craft a plan that attorneys and judges will view as effective and thorough and will be sensitive to the needs of children.
