Megan Hunter from the High Conflict Institute in San Diego will talk about its ‘New Ways for Families’ programme in Glasgow in the afternoon of Wednesday 23rd October and in Edinburgh in the morning of Thursday 24th October.

Lawyers, mediators and other family support professionals who work with separating parents are invited to hear how this online training helps parents strengthen conflict resolution and co-parenting skills. Contact ian.maxwell@fnfscotland.org to book a place.

New Ways for Families teaches four basic relationship and conflict resolution skills: flexible thinking, managed emotions, moderate behaviours and checking yourself (checking yourself by reminding yourself to use these skills when new issues arise).

The 12-module online training programme will soon be available in Scotland supplemented by face-to-face or online coaching provided by FNF Scotland.

Ms Hunter is a speaker, author, and international expert on high-conflict disputes, complicated relationships, and Borderline Personality Disorder. She has over 13 years’ experience as the family law specialist with the Arizona Supreme Court and as child support manager of the Dawes County Attorney’s Office in Nebraska.
