Family Access-Fighting for Children’s Rights, in conjunction with the Steel Partners Foundation, is pleased to announce a one-day Symposium for alienated parents, grandparents, and other family members to be held this coming Fall. The Symposium will take place on Saturday, October 16, 2021. The theme is “Dealing with Emptiness.” As one might expect from that theme, the presentations will focus on how targeted parents and grandparents can cope with this particularly devastating type of psychological and emotional abuse. The speakers are not only specialists in parental alienation but experts in how to better handle and manage such problems. This will not only be an informative and helpful conference, but an uplifting one. Although primarily intended for family members, mental health and legal professionals who deal with parental alienation are also likely to find it worthwhile. Additional information, including a list of the speakers and their specific topics, are listed below. There is limited seating and rooms available so now is the time to register for both.
On Friday night, October 15, 2021, we will have a Meet and Greet event from 6-9 PM. Rev. Dr. John Killinger will be our guest speaker. Dr. Killinger's late wife Annie was the pioneer to bringing grandparent alienation to the forefront. It will also be a time to meet our experts as well as others who are also in this "hell on earth called alienation". Many other professionals will be there too.
On Saturday, October 16, 2021 from 8-5, our experts will be presenting on how to cope with emptiness. There also will be a time of Q & A at the end of the symposium.
On Saturday evening from 6:30-9, we will have a closing dinner and spending time sharing our stories together.
We also will be giving out door prizes when you are registering at the front desk. We have planned many special things for you during this event. We do hope you can join us.
There will be a limit of 150 participants so this will be on a first come, first served basis. Many of you have asked for something like this for some time. Getting together with others who share this "hell on earth call alienation" will be a huge help for all of us. There will be many special things taking place while we are spending this time together. I do hope you can join us.
