SUMMARY:Tri-River Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join us via Zoom for our October Tri-River Practice Group. \nTopic this month: Beyond Agreements: Safeguarding Childhoods by Maria Natapov \nMaria Natapov is a Co-Parenting and Stepparenting Expert\, Vice Chair of The Sparrow Collective\, and trusted advisor to divorce professionals\, financial advisors\, and parenting coaches. \nIn this engaging session\, Collaborative Law professionals will be invited to step into the shoes of a child caught in divorce conflict\, experiencing firsthand the weight families carry when systems fail.

OFTEN IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. . . Small Changes —  BIG IMPACT \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n“I’m absolutely stunned by the power of the non-defensive process Sharon teaches. What amazes me is not just the incredible success\, but also the speed and directness. The potential to actually have a constructive and respectful conversation over an issue that could easily push anyone’s buttons is amazing.” — Arlene Kostant\, Attorney and Mediator\, San Francisco\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSharon’s transformative approach has earned national recognition and has helped professionals across sectors communicate with clarity and empathy—even in high-stress moments.
