Description
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 ACODs into a transition of accepting and adopting healthier perspectives of their parents and selves.
