Program Description:

Enforcing parenting time amid resistance poses a daunting challenge. Forcing the child’s compliance risks escalation, while not enforcing may signal abandonment. Conflicting advice from professionals adds chaos. When to persist or step back hinges on various factors, demanding a nuanced approach.

This training, presented by the legendary Dr. Leslie Drozd, offers a model for decision-making based on expert insights and collaborative exploration. Whether a seasoned practitioner or newcomer, attendees will depart with actionable strategies for navigating the complexities of resistance to parenting time and implementing realistic interventions for the family. Ultimately the participants will learn tools to face the challenging question of when to let go and when to trudge ahead in PCCP work with families.
