more details » Separating with Heart and Smarts: LGBTQ Separation, Divorce, and Alternative Dispute Resolution Separating with Heart and Smarts: LGBTQ Separation, Divorce, and Alternative Dispute Resolution What particular issues do LGBTQ families face during major life shifts of separation or divorce? How can we, as individuals and as a community, make these transitions with Heart and Smarts? This workshop series is appropriate for families who are in any stage of separation, as well as the friends, family, and professionals supporting those families. Both workshops will involve input from both lawyers and therapists. Part 1 of a 2 Part Series: Saturday, May 8, 1-3 pm The SF LGBT Community Center 1800 Market Street, San Francisco RSVP at http://www.ourfamily.org Part 1 of this series will be led primarily by therapists addressing the emotional and psychological strategies for maneuvering this life transition. Examples are: the emotional impact of having to pay for two households from the same source that used to pay for one household; how to talk with kids about divorce/separation, how to use separation as an opportunity for reaching clarity through open communication. This workshop is led by therapists Stacey Shuster Ph.D. and Daniel Yu LCSW Part 2 of a 2 Part Series Saturday June 5, 10am-12pm The SF LGBT Community Center 1800 Market Street, San Francisco RSVP at http://www.ourfamily.org Part 2 of this series will be led primarily by lawyer-mediators. This workshop reviews the basic legal landscape for LGBTQ people who are separating, whether they are registered domestic partners and/or married, or partnered without formal legal recognition. We will discuss the benefits for LGBTQ people of resolving their conflicts out of court, be those conflicts about a parenting plan or property division. This workshop will also outline the characteristics and differences between alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, collaborative law, and resolving the conflict directly with one's partner. This workshop is led by attorney-mediators Dylan Miles, Heba Nimr, and Charles Spiegel Free childcare with RSVP When Sat May 8 1pm – 3pm Pacific Time Calendar Queer Things Who • larrybob@gmail.com - creator
