Oakton Sponsors Divorce Symposium
Professionals who work with families affected by divorce are encouraged to attend "Divorce in the 21st Century: New Models for Children and Families," sponsored by the Alliance for Lifelong Learning at Oakton Community College. The seminar will be held Friday, May 21, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., in the TenHoeve Center at Oakton's Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road.
The seminar begins with "Creating and Maintaining the Child's Family History," presented by Margaret Wehrenberg, PsyD. Participants will learn how families and children can work together to maintain the family history that may be lost in a divorce, and preserve the child's memory of life events, as a resource for long-term emotional health.
The seminar also features a panel from the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois (www.collablawil.org) to discuss the respectful resolution of family disputes, without litigation or adversarial legal action. In "The Collaborative Family Law Process," participants will learn how the Collaborative Family Law process works; how it benefits clients, families, and society; and how professionals can become trained in this approach. Featured panelists are members of the institute's board of directors, including Susan E. McCabe, J.D., and Margaret S. Powers, LCSW, co-presidents; Brigitte Bell, J.D., immediate past co-president; James Galvin, J.D., vice-president; Anne Mudd, J.D., secretary; and Renee Pavlik, CDP, director.
Registration for this seminar is $65 and includes lunch and educational materials. Upon completion, Oakton Community College is accredited by a variety of state agencies to award continuing education credits (6.5 clock hours) to social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, teachers, and other professional and paraprofessional participants.
