The Family Separation Clinic International Symposium 2024 will foreground the experiences of children living with psychologically abusive parenting and, in particular, will hear directly from two now-adult children who were protected from a harmful parent through removal and transfer of residence by the family courts.

The symposium will also explore the underlying dynamics that lead to children’s rejection of a relationship with parent in the context of divorce or family separation, and the developmental harm of childhood relational trauma.

Through papers and presentations from professionals working in the front line of child protection, as well as researches and other professionals, the symposium will look at best practice in this highly complex field.

This international symposium will bring together practitioners, academics and other specialists, from around the world, and will hear the testimonies of two children who were protected from a harmful parent by the family courts in England and Wales, with the therapeutic support of the Family Separation Clinic.

Cost to watch live stream: £40.00
