This training will help participants understand the points of interface between parental conflict and children's experiences.

Children who refuse or resist spending time with a parent following separation are a common presentation in family law contexts. Many of these children not only resist contact with a parent but also reject attempts to repair the relationship, often expressing strong and consistent opposition.

The overlap between high-conflict parenting and children’s refusal provides valuable insight into the refuse–resist dynamic, offering a framework for understanding when and how intervention can be most effective.

This presentation focuses on the “how and why” of refuse–resist, helping participants develop a deeper understanding of the psychological and relational mechanisms underpinning these dynamics, as well as the consequences for children caught in ongoing interparental conflict.About
