Training: Supporting Separated Families | RAV

Separation can be a difficult time for both parents and their children. Enhance your understanding of the separation process and how to support families going through separation or divorce.

It’s normal for separating families to experience a range of strong emotions and family members often need to adjust to new living arrangements. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the impacts of the separation process for parents, children and adolescents, and ways to help them manage this change, within your work context.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:

• demonstrate knowledge of the separation process and how it impacts families and children
• demonstrate knowledge of the family law system and family dispute resolution (FDR)
• identify behaviours that children may demonstrate as a result of separation, and strategies to manage those behaviours
• help parents to better manage their separation and support their children
• identify when families need more support and where to refer them.

Ideal for:

Community organisation workers, school staff, health professionals, youth workers, child and family workers, and counsellors.
