NYACP Reoccuring "ZOOM" Meetings
Hosted by the NYC Pod

Revisit our Working Assumptions

Elana Katz, LCSW, LMFT, and Barbara Rothberg, Ph.D.  

Since its inception, we've held to the paradigm that the Collaborative Team serves our clients for a discreet body of work and we recede if they leave the collaborative process or upon the signing of a settlement agreement. As collaborative work in New York has matured into its 15th year, this may be a time to revisit some of our working assumptions. Is it best to leave our clients at their signature line, and does this decision vary depending on the role of the professionals involved? Would parents do well to have a more extended option with the family specialist? Would it be helpful to continue to get financial advice? Please join us as we take a session to raise questions and consider options in our work.
