Post-divorce adjustment for adolescents and young adults facing the separation of their parents is both a surrealistic and confusing time. Family permanence shatters, the covenant of safety ends, feelings of victimization and abandonment intensify, and the expected new role of the offspring forces unwanted changes. As survivors, they become Adult Children of Divorce (ACOD). This workshop addresses this population’s self-defeating reactions to the initial shock and residual effects of divorce. It shows the productive steps available for better self-control and family reconciliation through evidence-based, behaviorally-based interventions that guide the ACOD into a transition of accepting and adopting healthier perspectives of their parents and selves.

What you will learn:
Examine the common problems adolescents and young adults experience when their parents divorce.
Describe the emotional and behavioral self-defeating side-effects of passive-aggressiveness.
Discover four easily implemented methods to reverse the ACOD’s thinking and restore familiar, positive, pre-divorce behavior patterns.
