AFCC Regional Conference
Presented By: Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC)
About the Event Separating and divorcing families bring many types of conflict to the legal system. Often, the key to identifying a solution begins with understanding what lies beneath the surface. Trauma, addiction, substance abuse, alienation, and family violence are just a few of the many underlying issues that family court professionals may uncover in highly conflicted matters. The AFCC Regional Conference will bring world leaders together for pre-conference institutes, workshops, and plenary sessions that will address practice skills, professional issues, and advanced theoretical applications. The conference is designed for judges, lawyers, mediators, custody evaluators, mental health professionals, and any professional who works with separating and divorcing families—especially high conflict families. Register today! You do not want to miss this fantastic program.
