2019 Basic Collaborative Interdisciplinary Training (BCIT)Three (3) Day Training on
|
The NYACP hosted "Meet and Greet" events this summer in New York City, Westchester and Long Island to introduce Collaborative Divorce and the BCIT to Law, Finance and Mental Health professionals. If you are interested in providing an alternative to traditional divorce, one that minimizes the time, expense and hostility that are so often a part of divorce, please contact the NYACP Office to arrange an opportunity to speak with one of our Board members or trainers. |
Rather than resorting to court intervention to resolve disputes, Collaborative Divorce allows couples to work with a team, which includes their respective attorneys as well as coaches, a child specialist and a financial neutral, to help serve the needs of all family members. This three-day intensive training provides a sound foundation to interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce theory, practice, and skills development as well as ethics and practice development considerations. Participants learn how to work within a multidisciplinary team and how the Collaborative Divorce process integrates the roles and functions of all team members to best assist families reach in their process of restructuring. This program is open to mental health and financial professionals as well as attorneys.
