Assn for Family and Conciliation Courts to Hold Conference Jan 27-28
The Louisiana chapter of the Association for Family and Conciliation Courts will present its 7th annual state conference on Friday and Saturday, January 27 and 28, at the Paul Hebert Law School on the LSU campus. The title of this year’s state conference is "Time, Money, and Power: Settling disputes in high conflict families."
“This conference is an opportunity to consider family court as a practice area, protect yourself against the stresses of involvement, and experience a multidisciplinary opportunity for networking,” said president of the AFCC Chapter, Dr. Alan Taylor.
Dr. Taylor is in his 33rd year of independent private practice in clinical psychology. Family court work has been a major focus for the last 21 years. He is currently president of the Louisiana chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.
The keynote speaker at the upcoming conference will be the AFCC international president Marsha Kline Pruett, who will present "Infants and Overnights".
Other topics will include domestic violence, issues with adolescents, grandparent rights, and dealing with sexual abuse allegations. Attendees can register for either or both days of the conference. All clinicians can expect to be involved with family court issues.
The organization is an interdisciplinary association of professionals who are dedicated to improving the lives of children and families through the resolution of family conflict. The association’s members include judges, mediators, mental health professionals, parenting coordinators and educators, visitation supervisors, officers of the courts, financial planners, and academics.
The state association was founded by Leslie Todd, LCSW, and the parent organization, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, is an international association with over 50 years of services to families.
