Family Dispute Resolution
When help is needed
A parent becomes unwell sometimes. The symptoms might affect parenting sometimes. How do you look after them when you are unwell and how do you keep a healthy relationship with your little ones?
Family Relief can use Pre FDR Support strategies and FDR to
- Help parents identify thresholds for safety vs risk outlined in an agreement.
- Help parents identify what they can do at each stage of being unwell.
- Help parents define their role, what to do when that role can not be met and create a plan that is supportive for children to feel safe and nurtured.
- Develop joint language for children to respect parental diversity as well as to respond when they notice something isn’t quite right. They know how and where to get help.
You may be aware of a change such as going away for work, travel restrictions, hospitalisation or incarceration. You may feel confused with the loss of help or with the responsibility of being the daily decision maker. You may worry about losing meaningful relationships with your children all together. You may stress that someday, mum and dad will be in the same community again. What then?
Family Relief can use Pre and Post FDR support and mediation to
- Yarn with parents about their little person’s needs in preparation of the change, during the change and afterwards.
- Agreements on help and parental roles before the change so there are no surprises.
- Help parents feel stable knowing their role as parents while a parent is isolated and when the parent returns to the same community.
You have gone (or going) through Family Court proceedings. Feel exhausted. The process changed you and not for the better! Consumed by hatred or fear? Your resources have been over taxed. Even with an Order the conflict continues.
