High-Conflict Families and the CAS: When Bad Gets Really Bad

Join panelists Haley Gaber-Katz (JFCS counsel), Ricardo Theoduloz (MSW), Carrie Hoffelnar (CAST), and the Honourable Justice Sherr as they discuss these crossover cases and how we can best serve children harmed by conflict.

1.     What are the impacts of conflict on children? How can we tell when conflict has risen to the level of emotional harm where the child is in need of protection?
2.     How does a Children’s Aid Society view emotional harm? High conflict? How to speak so they will listen? How can they speak so other professionals can hear them?
3.     How do judges identify children who are being impacted by conflict to a degree that makes the impact a protection concern?  How effectively do CAS’ approach emotional harm from high conflict? Parent’s counsel? What works and what doesn’t?

Deadline to Register: December 13
