The Space Between: A Clinician’s Guide to Divorce, Emotional, Legal and Financial Readiness

Calling all mental health professionals!

Understanding the emotional, legal and financial issues clients face when contemplating or navigating divorce.

Clients often begin talking about divorce in the therapy room, before they fully understand what the path ahead may involve.

This program brings together an interdisciplinary team of professionals trained in mediation and collaborative divorce — Jennifer Luise Champagne, LPC; Rosemarie Ferrante, JD, collaborative attorney and mediator; and Hollis Hardiman, CDFA®, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst to provide clinicians with a broader understanding of the emotional, legal and financial dimensions of divorce.

Through discussion and practical examples, the program will explore emotional readiness, divorce process options, financial considerations, and the distinct roles of professionals who may support individuals and families through the transition. The goal is to help clinicians understand who does what in the divorce process and which professional resources may be appropriate for their clients’ particular needs, while maintaining clear professional roles and boundaries.
