At the READ Clinic we recognise the strain that can be placed on families, parents and children when parents are in the process of, or have completed separation, or have divorced. Assessment and therapy can be very helpful for children and parents adjusting to all the changes that can occur at these times. Unfortunately, there are many times when therapy no longer provides a safe space for children but rather becomes another place for conflict to be maintained and where children are caught between two parents who can’t agree on what the children need or require. To ensure your child’s time at the READ Clinic does not become an extension of other conflict, we have a “separated family” document that requires signing by both parents in order that we are sure that attendance is focused on the emotional health and safety of your children.
