Webinar Recording: Resist-Refuse Dynamics and Effects on Children

This pre-recorded webinar runs for 1.5 hours and can be purchased online and accessed at any time.

Resist-Refuse dynamics (RRD) is a term used in the context of high-conflict divorces or separations which involve children.  

It refers to the patterns of behaviour exhibited by parents or caregivers when they resist or refuse to cooperate with each other about child custody, visitation, and co-parenting arrangements.  

These dynamics can have significant negative effects on children involved in such situations. 

As such, strategies for promoting healthy parent-child contact are essential for the wellbeing and healthy development of children.  

They also contribute to a healthy society by fostering positive family dynamics and healthier communities. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn strategies to manage Resist-Refuse dynamics and promote healthy contact between separated parents and their children.
