Reminder: Hope4Families Partners Meeting – August 14 | Healing Family Systems with Andrew Folkler
|
Dear Reader, This is a friendly reminder that our next Hope4Families Strategic Partners Meeting is just around the corner! Friday, August 14 Join the Meeting: Partner Spotlight: Andrew FolklerWe're honored to welcome Andrew Folkler, writer, speaker, parental alienation survivor, and family reunification advocate. After reuniting with his mother following 13 years of alienation, Andrew has spent more than a decade helping targeted parents better understand the child's perspective and navigate the long road toward healing and reconnection. His work has inspired families around the world through his writing, speaking, and contributions to the documentary Erasing Family and several books on parental alienation and family restoration. During our meeting, Andrew will share practical, trauma-informed insights on:
We're also excited to recognize the recent publication of Healing Qualia by Dr. Alyse Price-Tobler, a powerful new resource featuring survivor perspectives—including Andrew, who is featured on the book's cover, and our own strategic partner, Dawn McCarty. While Dr. Price-Tobler is unable to join us, we'll take a few moments to celebrate this important contribution to the field. As always, we'll also hear partner updates, share collaboration opportunities, and continue building bridges that strengthen families and communities. Help Us Share Your WorkOne of the strengths of the Hope4Families Strategic Partners Alliance is the incredible work happening across our network. If your organization has upcoming conferences, workshops, webinars, support groups, trainings, or community events, please send us your calendar or event information. We'd love to feature your events on the Hope4Families calendar so our partners can stay informed and help amplify your impact. Directory UpdateAs many of you know, our goal has always been to connect families with trusted resources. With the continued growth of Divorce Network Pro's directory of vetted professionals, we've decided to sunset the Hope4Families ad hoc directory. Rather than maintaining duplicate listings, we're pleased to support Divorce Network Pro as a trusted referral resource for families seeking qualified professionals. We encourage our partners to explore the directory and consider joining if you haven't already. In Case You Missed ItI recently had the opportunity to discuss an issue that affects children, families, and educators every day—keeping co-parenting conflict out of our schools. The interview shares practical strategies for helping schools remain places where children can thrive while encouraging healthier communication between parents and professionals. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, I hope you'll take a few minutes. Feel free to share it with colleagues, schools, and families who may benefit. 🎥 Watch the interview: Thank you for your continued partnership and for the work you do every day to bring hope and healing to families. I look forward to seeing you on August 14! Warmly, Danica Dockery, M.Ed. |
