Parenting is like tackling everyday arithmetic, but when parental alienation enters the equation, it's as if you're suddenly thrust into the realm of trigonometry. This presentation caters to both parents and clinicians submerged in or intrigued by the complexities of parental alienation dynamics. Just as trigonometry poses a greater challenge than basic arithmetic, navigating the intricacies of parental alienation requires a deeper understanding and nuanced approach. Whether grappling with the heart-wrenching rejection from one's own children or untangling the complexities of alienation during therapy sessions, the journey demands a different level of skill and insight. This training aims to provide clinicians and parents with the important maxims necessary to effectively traverse the sometimes confounding situations that parents experience in their homes or therapy sessions.
Randy Flood, MA, LLP has specialized in providing psychological services for individuals and families involved in family and criminal courts since 1992. He provides evaluation, parenting coordination, and parent-child reunification counseling at the Fountain Hill Center in Grand Rapids particularly when resist and refuse dynamics (RRD’s) are present on the spectrum of parent-child contact problem including cases of parental alienation and/or estrangement/ abuse. Flood offers testifying and non-testifying expert consultation for attorneys and coaching for rejected/targeted parents as well as helping parents cope and navigate the world of custody and parenting time litigation. As director of the Men’s Resource Center of West Michigan, he recently launched a parental alienation support group for targeted fathers. He is the co-author of two books, a prolific speaker and trainer, and a media consultant in his areas of expertise.
Zach is a psychotherapist, associate evaluator, and coach with the Men’s Resource Center of West Michigan. He works with parents struggling with the complicated and painful dynamics involved in being a rejected or targeted parent in parental alienation. He also serves as an associate evaluator in custody and parenting time evaluations. He believes that helping families navigate and heal from alienation dynamics is some of the most complicated but important work a mental health professional can dedicate themselves to. He continues to look for more ways to educate and serve families afflicted with this insidious dynamic that is counterintuitive for most professionals.

"Where is the Love?"
On Sunday, September 8, 2024 at 8 PM EDT, Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights presents a webinar with Melanie Gill. The title of the webinar is "Where is the Love?" his will air exclusively on our Families Divided TV you tube channel.
www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qET_H81bIcf7b55UHxhKQ
Alan Schore one of the greatest neuroscientists said ‘love is a special state of consciousness’. The love between parents and their children is pure and joyful; when babies smile at their parents, neurobiological fireworks go off in both brains. This is what attachment is, you are embedded in your child’s brain, body, and senses from pre-birth. But what happens when that beautiful child who you poured love into turns round and says, ‘I hate you’. Attachment and neuroscience show how that love is boxed up and away as children are forced to adapt to an alienating environment. Love is not supressed but there is no space for it when family life become this relationally dangerous. Reawakening that love is the goal but first we need to find the box its in. Attachment assessments explain what’s going on and where to find the key.’
‘Melanie Gill is a UK -based attachment specialist, psychologist, and forensic consultant. She uses evidenced based assessments with a focus on attachment science. She specializes in assessing adults, adolescents, families and children, formulating, and monitoring treatment and intervention plans, and uses innovative multi-disciplinary approaches that seek to assess attachment dynamics resulting in psychological problems, psychopathology, and risk, as effectively as possible. Her work places an emphasis on understanding the often-complex history behind an existing family dynamic, on the basis that a child cannot be assessed in vacuum, nor can parents and adults be understood separately from their children, other family members and their family history. She has been a political campaigner for children for many years and has recently been made Head of Psychology at The Change for Children International, an organization finding novel solutions to family court cases, and she continues to work as an Expert Witness. She is passionate about bringing psychological science and knowledge into Family Courts to improve the lives and understanding of complex families and how all humans develop.

"Navigating the Dating Scene in Today's World After Alienation for your Children"
On Sunday, October 13, 2024 @ 8 PM EST, Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights presents Randi Fine in a webinar titled "Navigating the Dating Scene in Today's World After Alienation for your Children". This will air exclusively on our Families Divided TV you tube channel.
www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qET_H81bIcf7b55UHxhKQ
As an alienated parent, the grossly unfair, unjust, and cruel treatment you’ve been subjected to has set your life back and put it on hold. Parents who have been rejected by their children struggle to find a way to move forward and find meaning in life, while clinging to the hope that an opportunity for reconciliation may exist in the future. Though not ideal, there comes a time when you must find a way to redefine your life; to shift the focus away from the negative aspects of your situation, redirect it, and move forward. While you will always be your child’s parent, it’s essential to maintain a separate sense of self not solely defined by that role.
You may have decided to date again, perhaps in hopes of finding a healthy partner to share your life with. But your self-esteem has taken a huge hit, and you can’t imagine ever trusting someone again. Not only that, but the world of dating has likely changed since you were last in it. So where do you begin?
Today’s webinar will focus on just that – how to navigate the dating scene in today’s world after being alienated from your children, and how to choose the best partner for you. Much of what you will learn today has been shared by others who have walked in your shoes and then paved the way for you. The knowledge you will gain today is priceless.
Randi Fine is a dedicated pioneer in the narcissistic abuse movement, an internationally renowned Narcissistic Personality Disorder Abuse Expert and Recovery Coach, a Certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Practitioner, and a Certified Neuro Bi-lateral Processing (NBP)™ Practitioner. She is a podcast host and author living in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Randi is the author of the groundbreaking book, Close Encounters of the Worst Kind: The Narcissistic Abuse Survivors Comprehensive Guide to Healing and Recovery Second Edition, its official companion Close Encounters of the Worst Kind Comprehensive Workbook for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, and the compelling memoir, Cliffedge Road.
As a Coach, Randi specializes in (but is not limited to) helping others work through issues relating to relationship codependency, narcissistic personality disorder abuse, trauma, emotional boundaries, letting go of the past, and letting go of unhealthy guilt.

"My Ex is a Psychopath"
On Sunday, December 22, 2024 @ 8 PM EST, Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights presents Melanie Gill in a webinar titled "My Ex is a Psychopath".This will air exclusively on our Families Divided TV you tube channel.

How often do I hear this in cases involving parental alienation. Over 16 years doing very complex cases of all sorts I’ve found psychopathy can come from a very specific form of trauma. Having children fills a psychopath’s empty heart, but when parents part, the need to keep that void filled results in very specific psychological profiles. Children are ‘brainwashed’ super quick. As usual, attachment science gets to the bottom of it.
