New Ways for Families®
High Conflict divorces and separations are hard on everyone involved. Especially the kids. The New Ways for Families® method is a paradigm shift for parents and professionals because it gives parents a chance to change, to learn skills to communicate more effectively (especially in front of their children.) New Ways helps parents to manage their upset emotions, to make proposals instead of being rigid and uncompromising and to check themselves instead of blaming others.
New Ways for Families® training is for counselors and coaches
to constructively address high-conflict or potentially high-conflict cases in the family law cases.
This evidence-informed method designed by Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq. focuses on
teaching and reinforcing simple conflict resolution skills to parents and children.
