Validation Strategies to Support Teens in High-Conflict Divorce

Click to Watch the Session

Divorce changes everything for kids. It doesn’t just separate parents, it shakes the ground children stand on to feel safe and connected. Katie has seen it firsthand in her work as a therapist, and she has lived it herself growing up in a divorced family. That dual perspective gives Katie a unique window into what kids really go through.

In this session, Katie will show you:

• The 3 biggest mistakes parents make that leave kids carrying the pain.

• Simple shifts that give kids stability even when everything else feels uncertain.

• How to help children of divorce come out stronger, not scarred.

This talk blends professional strategies with lived insight. You’ll walk away with practical tools to use at home or in the therapy room—tools that connect back to bigger conversations about how we support kids in times of crisis and change.
