OUR INTERNATIONAL MONTHLY SEMINARS ARE NOW VIRTUAL AND VISUAL VIA WEB EX
As we always have participants sign in early to these presentations (some sign on as much as an hour before the presentation), I was wondering what to have for them during this time. In the past, we always had music prior to the call. Some have reached out to me wanting to promote their businesses, organizations, new books, etc. With our Web Ex, we can allow those that want to do a 2-3 minute video and make certain it is in relation to alienation if only to show your support for our work against alienation in the video.
If you prefer to do a flyer, that would be great as well and of course include something in relation to alienation. That would show for 2 minutes at a time during the flow of promotions.
This would be a 1 year contract for you in which this would be promoted during the first 30-45 minutes prior to our seminar. We have 18-20 seminar presentations a year and would be shown on each one. Of course with this time limit, we will be limited on the number we can have. It will of course be first come, first served. And as always all registrations are subject to approval.

Below is the 2021 schedule of our guest speakers for our international seminar presentations. We now are virtual and visual via Web Ex now. We also are now having 1 hour support calls with a select group of parents on the 1st and 3rd Monday nights of the month for our support calls for parents of alienated adult children. These are some of our top experts and professionals in the world regarding alienation. We are extremely fortunate to have these experts and professionals who give us their time, knowledge and support at no charge to any of us. The initial call is of no charge. We are adding some of these presentations to our international seminar calls replay and they may be replayed once for a nominal fee This is the ministry of Family Access - Fighting for Children's Rights. These calls are extremely helpful to all alienated family members in understanding more, in helping you to get through the hell on earth of being alienated from our children and grandchildren and knowledge to deal with all aspects of those we have to deal with in this. These calls are also a huge asset to those in the mental health and legal professions as well as researchers, writers and child advocates who work in the field of alienation.These calls are for everyone all over the world. We at present have 40 countries participating in these calls.You may call in on a free conference line, Skype or download our desk top app to join our calls. Please make these calls a priority. The knowledge and support you get on these calls is phenomenal. You will be grateful you did.

"Parental Alienation Misinformation: An Old Problem, New Research, and What to do About It"
On Sunday, March 7, 2021 from 8-10 PM EST, Dr. William Bernet will be our guest speaker. We are averaging over 1,100 participants on our calls now which includes 40 countries now. We are looking forward to begin doing our presentations via Web Ex and will be virtual and visual from now on. The initial presentation is of no charge. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights. Deadline to register is Sunday, March 7th by 4 PM EST.

We live in an era of widespread misinformation -- in professional journals, formal presentations, and every form of media. Since the 1980s, misinformation regarding parental alienation theory has been published repeatedly in peer-reviewed journals intended for mental health and legal practitioners. This presentation explains new research regarding a specific example of misinformation, i.e., variations of the statement: Parental alienation theory assumes that the preferred parent has caused parental alienation in the child simply because the child refuses to have a relationship with the rejected parent, without identifying or proving alienating behaviors by the preferred parent. In fact, no proponent of parental alienation has made that assumption in the entire world literature regarding this topic. Versions of that false statement have been made in journals, books, and presentations at least 35 times between 1994 and 2021. This presentation describes this trail of recurrent misinformation, which is not trivial; it is a major misrepresentation of the basic tenets of parental alienation theory. The presentation concludes with action items, including the proposal that these false statements should be corrected and/or the journal articles should be withdrawn from publication.
William Bernet, M.D., is a professor emeritus at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. As a forensic psychiatrist, he testified about 300 times in 24 states. Dr. Bernet wrote the book, Parental Alienation, DSM-5, and ICD-11. He and his colleagues edited Parental Alienation: The Handbook for Mental Health and Legal Professionals. He and Dr. Demosthenes Lorandos published Parental Alienation — Science and Law in 2020. Dr. Bernet was the founder and first president of the Parental Alienation Study Group.

"Conflict Resolution: A Core Competency for Coping with Alienation"
On Sunday, March 21, 2021 from 8-9 PM EST, Dr. Susan Heitler will be our guest speaker. We are averaging over 1, 100 participants now which includes 40 countries now. We are looking forward to our presentations being virtual and visual via Web Ex. The initial presentation is of no charge to you. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights. You still will need to email familyaccessinnc@aol.com to register.
In her 45 years of treating with anxiety, depression, anger, rage, and other types of emotional distress, clinical psychologist Dr. Susan Heitler has consistently found that conflicts lie at the core of these and other emotional states. Whether we refer these as bumps in the road, issues, problems, upsets, dilemmas, decisions, fights, or injustices, all of these circumstances can be regarded as conflicts. Whenever you have something you want that you are not getting, or something that you don't want that you are getting, that is a life conflict.
Ordinarily, psychotherapists attempt to provide people in conflict with insights, approaches, and techniques to better manage their conflicts. One of the most promising of those approaches is collaborative conflict resolution. In simple terms, that is a semi-structured approach to manage conflict through dialog, understanding, compromise, and other methods. Unfortunately, however, alienators—especially determined alienators—will usually not agree to participate in collaborative conflict resolution. For one thing, such a collaboration is not consistent with their true goals. For another thing, they may lack the psychological and emotional capacity to do so. For a third thing, if they agree to participate, they tend to undermine and sabotage the process.
By contrast, such skills can prove invaluable to targeted parents and grandparents who must not only deal with one or more alienators, but must also interact with other family members, attorneys, teachers, therapists, parenting coordinators, custody evaluators, guardians ad litem, courts, and others—as well as the alienated children themselves who, except in mild cases, are often disruptive and seldom shy about it.
This presentation is designed to provide practical skills to parents, grandparents, and others who must deal with parental and grandparental alienation. In addition, it is designed to provide some practical techniques for harnessing your inner resources in order to resolve conflicts in a “win win” way while strengthening your ability to handle life's challenges with enhanced confidence and a sense of well-being.
Specific Topics and Questions
1. What are some examples of situations in which collaborative conflict resolution can be helpful—or even lead to a “win win” situation?
2. What are the three steps of conflict resolution?
3. How are conflict resolution and problem-solving similar? How are they different?
4. What are the most important communication skills for collaborative conflict resolution?
5. What are the most important anger management and impulse control skills to keep conflict resolution on track?
6. What are the most common mistakes people make when participating in semi-structured conflict resolution?
Susan Heitler, PhD, is a clinical psychologist. Formerly of Denver, she currently lives in Israel. She has written over a dozen blogposts for psychologytoday.com to educate the general public and psychotherapy professionals about alienation. For a list of these articles, scroll down in the alienation section of her therapyhelp.com website.
In her clinical work, her blogposts on psychologytoday.com (which have attracted over 23 million reads), and her books, Dr. Heitler focuses in particular on how people deal with the conflicts in their lives.
Her book From Conflict to Resolution was the first to bring understandings of the art of win-win conflict resolution into the general psychotherapy literature. In addition, she has written a useful workbook for the general public entitled The Power of Two. Related to the workbook, her website features a module called PowerOfTwoMarriage.com that teaches collaborative communication, anger management, and conflict resolution—skills that sustain both personal well-being and positive family relationships.
