About the event

Peer-to-Peer Briefing: Why VMHPAA Members Should Consider Attending

Family estrangement is a complex, often hidden dimension of relational and community trauma, especially when clients have limited or conflicted family support. The upcoming event “8 Things You Need to Know About Family Estrangement” offers deep insights grounded in clinical experience and research (see Melvin’s book Navigating Family Estrangement for more on his frameworks).

Attending provides an invaluable opportunity to:

• Gain a clearer understanding of the psychological, relational, and systemic dynamics in estrangement

• Learn strategies to support clients navigating estrangement grief, identity challenges, and boundary setting

• Integrate frameworks from adult relational theory, conflict resolution, and therapeutic healing pathways

For VMHPAA members working in community, counselling or support roles, this session is especially relevant. It will deepen your empathy, sharpen your assessment lens, and equip you with tools to walk alongside clients through a delicate relational terrain.
