Save Our Kids Seminar

Save Our Kids is a six-part seminar series with the intent of enabling parents, judges, lawyers, and other professionals to consider the importance of moving family law conflicts to a more collaborative process rather than one that pits parent against parent. As you are probably already aware parents fighting against each other is harmful to children, parents, and the communities they all live in. This seminar is encouraging a result where children have reduced stress and are no longer torn between having to pick one parent over the other.

These seminars will be archived here for future download and sharing. The first of the six free seminars begins on April 28, 2009 at 8PM EST. Sign up to the right so you receive your personalized log on information!
