As we have our monthly and sometimes bi-monthly events, we always have participants sign in early to these presentations (some sign on as much as an hour before the presentation). Some have reached out to me wanting to promote their businesses, organizations, new books, etc. With our Zoom, 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. We also can do your video for you as well as edit it if you wish. The videos would be for $300 for a year.
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. The flyers would be for $200 for a year.
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.
We will also set up a web page on our website for this as well so those needing professional services will have access to them 24/7. We currently have consistently over 2,000 hits a week on our website.
Please email me with any questions at familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

"Techniques to Connect With Your Child When All They Want To Do Is Argue"
On Sunday, August 1, 2021, Colleen Murray, Ph. D, LPC, will be presenting a webinar for us via zoom from 8-10 PM EDT. We have been averaging over 1, 100 participants from 41 different countries. The initial event is of no charge to anyone. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights.
We also will begin having at the end of each of our webinars a success story. On this event, we will have a couple who were parents alienated from their adult child and also were alienated grandparents. They will personally be sharing their wonderful success story with us. You absolutely want to see and hear their heart warming story.
About Dr. Murray's Presentation:
You are already alienated, either very recently or maybe it’s been years. The last thing you want to do when spending time with your child is to argue, debate perception or validate your parenting. The reality is that none of those arguments came from your child; they originated with the other parent who is now grooming your child to be a surrogate antagonist.
So what can you do?
Would it surprise you to know that you can use your child’s brain’s natural processing to your advantage?
There are three unique chemicals found in the human body; Dopamine, Cortisol and Oxytocin, which, when you understand their purpose and how they function, can help you maximize their positive effects as you work to engage on a deeper level with your child.

- "Structuring a Reconciliation Therapy Intervention"
On Sunday, August 15, 2021 from 8-9 PM EDT, Brian Ludmer, B. Comm, LLB, will be our guest presenter for our international webinar. We are averaging over 1,100 participants in 41 countries for our events. The initial event is of no charge to anyone. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights.
Because this is a one hour webinar, there will be no questions submitted for this event.

Deadline to register for this webinar event is Sunday, August 15th by 6 PM EDT. Please make this deadline so you do not miss this event!
Given the pervasive failure of therapeutic interventions in the context of high conflict divorce (and parental alienation), the continued unstructured referrals of families by the Courts to therapy is problematic.
Brian's presentation will focus on how to structure a therapeutic or psychoeducational intervention while the children are still also living primarily or perhaps exclusively with the favoured parent.
Even if successful (because the family system requires a temporary timeout for the favoured parent), there may be much learned and crucial reports obtained from this process, which will embolden the Court to order a protective separation of the children.
Further, if progress is made, it can also inform the Court about longer-term remedies and expanded parenting time, building on the more recent successes.
Brian Ludmer is a Canadian attorney whose practice focuses on cases involving high conflict custody battles, denial of parenting time and parental alienation, as well as high net worth financial disputes. He is also a business and securities law attorney with over 32 years of experience.
Brian is the Legal Column Editor and Writer for the bi-monthly newsletter of the Parental Alienation Study Group, an organization of professionals and others interested in the area with members world-wide.
Brian is a frequent speaker for Family Access and is widely quoted in multiple media sources on family law issues. Brian has spoken at the first International Conference of the Parental Alienation Study Group in Washington in October 2017, for the Canadian PA Forum -a three-day conference – in 2009 and for PAAO, the Children’s Rights Council, the Canadian Equal Parenting Coalition and other organizations across Canada and the United States. Brian was also a featured speaker at the first Annual Conference of the European Association of PA Practitioners in London UK in August 2018. Brian has also been speaking to the Ontario Canada hospital network on PA Diagnosis and Therapy.
Brian works as special counsel with US and Canadian attorneys and mental health professionals to assist targeted parents and grandparents. He has assisted in cases across Canada, the US.and overseas.
Brian’s book: The High Conflict Custody Battle, which he co-wrote with Dr. Amy Baker and Dr. Michael Bone in 2015, is a resource that has been of assistance to countless families.
Brian’s cases often involve custody disputes over parenting time. Brian’s cases have set important jurisprudence on the field of family law disputes, equal parenting and parental alienation.
Brian has been an advocate for a rebuttable presumption of equal shared parenting as a solution to most high conflict parenting disputes. Brian is a co-founder of Lawyers for Shared Parenting, and an active member of several family rights organizations. He is the legal advisor to the Canadian Centre for Equality. In that capacity Brian drafted a detailed submission on a rebuttable presumption of equal shared parenting to the Justice Committee of the Canadian House of Commons and was an invited witness into its November 2018 hearings on Bill C-78, a current proposal to amend Canada’s Divorce laws. Brian anticipates making a similar presentation to the Canadian Senate when it considers the Bill in the Spring of 2019.
Previously, Brian was the principal drafter of Bill C-560, a 2014 private members’ Bill introduced in the Canadian Federal Parliament to reform family law, which made it to second reading at the time.
- We have also added something new to our international webinars. We will feature a parent or grandparent who has a success story they wish to share at the end of Brian Ludmer's presentation.
" NEVER GIVE UP HOPE—LIFE ISN’T WORTH LIVING WITHOUT IT"
On Sunday, September 12, 2021 (Grandparents' Day) from 8-9 PM EDT, Rev. Dr. John Killinger will be our guest presenter for our international webinar call. We are averaging over 1,100 participants in 41 countries for our events. The initial event is of no charge to anyone. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights.
One of the most terrible losses any of us ever experience is the loss of hope. Dr Killinger himself admits that his own hope for reconciliation with his son and his family had been pretty battered after 15 years of not seeing him or any of his grandchildren, though they lived only 30 or 40 minutes away from him. In an effort to rise above his own sadness and loneliness, he became involved in the plight of other grandparents in a similar situation. Dr. Killinger published three volumes of letters he wrote to his grandchildren in the hope that someday, when they were older and their parents could not confiscate or destroy the letters, they would be able to read about our affection for them and our sadness that we were missing the opportunity of being with them during their young, impressionable years. He has also tried to assist Elaine and Family Access in any way he could, and he has been on the board of Alienated Grandparents Anonymous for many years, responding to letters and emails from many distraught parents and grandparents. But he has to admit that he had almost lost hope of ever reconciling with his own son or getting to know his four grandchildren while they are still children. If his son would not come to see his mother Anne as she was dying nine years ago, he could not expect him to have any pity on his old father before his own death.
Dr. Killinger will be presenting to us on the necessity of hope in our lives, even when things aren't working out very well with our children and grandchildren. He will let us know about and describe a very special event that just took place in his life. An event that left him "gobsmacked". He will describe in detail for us this event. He will speak to us about life being better when there's at least a grain of hope in it. This will be an event that you absolutely do not want to miss and have klennex nearby.

Because this is only a 1 hour event, there will be no questions submitted. Deadline to register is Sunday, September 12, 2021 by 6 PM EDT.
Dr. John Killinger, noted author, minister, and professor, has pastored eight churches, including the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles and Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, and has taught at such major universities as Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Chicago. His wife Anne was the author of A Son Is a Son Till He Gets a Wife: How Toxic Daughters-in-Law Destroy Families, the book that spawned the alienated parents and grandparent movement in America. He himself has written more than 70 books, including three volumes of From Poppy with Love: Letters from a Grandfather to the Grandchildren He Isn’t Allowed to See. He has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs across the U.S., and served for many years as a special seminar leader for chaplains in all branches of the American Armed Forces.

If his son would not come to see his mother Anne as she was dying nine years ago, he could not expect him to have any pity on his old father before his own death.
Dr. Killinger will be presenting to us on the necessity of hope in our lives, even when things aren't working out very well with our children and grandchildren. He will let us know about and describe a very special event that just took place in his life. An event that left him "gobsmacked". He will describe in detail for us this event. He will speak to us about life being better when there's at least a grain of hope in it. This will be an event that you absolutely do not want to miss and have klennex nearby.

Dr. John Killinger, noted author, minister, and professor, has pastored eight churches, including the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles and Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, and has taught at such major universities as Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Chicago. His wife Anne was the author of A Son Is a Son Till He Gets a Wife: How Toxic Daughters-in-Law Destroy Families, the book that spawned the alienated parents and grandparent movement in America. He himself has written more than 70 books, including three volumes of From Poppy with Love: Letters from a Grandfather to the Grandchildren He Isn’t Allowed to See. He has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs across the U.S., and served for many years as a special seminar leader for chaplains in all branches of the American Armed Forces.

Deadline to register for this webinar event is Sunday December 19th by 6 PM EST. Please make this deadline so you do not miss this event!- A 2009 research study published in an article entitled, “Current Status and Future Prospects of Clinical Psychology: Toward a Scientifically Principled Approach to Mental and Behavioral Health Care” published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest by Timothy Baker et. al
reached the troubling finding that:
“Clinical psychologists’ failure to achieve a more significant impact on clinical and public health may be traced to their deep ambivalence about the role of science and their lack of adequate science training, which leads them to value personal clinical experience over research evidence, use assessment practices that have dubious psychometric support, and not use the interventions for which there is the strongest evidence of efficacy. Clinical psychology resembles medicine at a point in its history when practitioners were operating in a largely prescientific manner.”
It has been my experience that the above finding applies across the mental health community and raises a concern about ineffective treatment provided by clinicians in virtually all mental health disciplines. In no other clinical condition than one involving child abuse—which alienation indisputably involves—is the provision of best practices therapy more important.
This presentation will highlight the most serious cognitive and clinical errors that typically arise in cases of alienation and which almost always result in catastrophic consequences to the alienated child. This presentation is also designed to equip the recipient of reunification treatment with the knowledge to hold the reunification therapist accountable to comply with the standards of clinical practice, and, if failing to do so, thereby document a case to have an incorrigible therapist replaced. -
- Ms. Gottlieb gained her expertise in Family Systems Therapy by studying at the Minuchin Center for the Family where she had been personally trained by Salvador Minuchin, MD. After completing this training, she served for four years on the faculty of the Minuchin Center.
- Since 2003, Ms. Gottlieb has focused her practice on the diagnosis and treatment of parental alienation. She developed and provides a successful reunification intervention for severe cases of parental alienation.
- Ms. Gottlieb also serves as an expert witness in matters involving alienation, and she also provides training in alienation to mental health practitioners, lawyers, child protective personnel, and to others who intervene in child welfare.
Each participant may submit 1 question for this event. To have your question submitted for Ms. Gottlieb, you must follow the following guidelines. 1.) Your question must be in relation to the subject of her presentation. 2.) It can not consist of no more than 3 sentences in total. Deadline to submit your question is Tuesday, December 14, 2021. Please email your question to familyaccessinnc@aol.com. -
