Parental estrangement is a growing and complex phenomenon affecting many families, particularly in the context of adult children distancing themselves from their parents or parents needing to disconnect from their children. This course is designed for mental health clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of estrangement and its profound impact on both parents and adult children. Through this course, clinicians will gain insights into the emotional, psychological, and relational implications of estrangement. They will also learn how to identify the contributing factors, assess clients' needs, and understand techniques and clinical interventions. Clinicians will be equipped to support clients struggling with estrangement, whether they are seeking reconciliation or processing the loss of the relationship.
