  • Collaborative Divorce: An Innovative Approach to Working with Families in Transition, presented by Jeffrey Steiger, LCSW and Bob Raymond, PD in Saratoga Springs, NY. Mental health professionals are working with attorneys and financial professionals to enable couples to divorce without going to court. Families are empowered as they reconstitute without acrimony. New techniques are utilized as psychologists take a leadership role in mediating with couples and working out final divorce settlements which benefit children and their parents. This is a highly valued non-insurance-based service. Collaborative divorce is an evolved and humanistic approach gaining momentum throughout the country.
