This year, for the first time, we are including a kick-off to the Institute, a/k/a The Kick-Off to the Revolution. The headliner is Alec Baldwin, who authored the book, "A Promise to Ourselves" in which he shares his very personal story of being a party to a dissolution case, the sometimes unbearable expectations and loss imposed by our system, and the lasting damage the players can do to a family going through this process. He is going to share his experience with you, and the experiences of others who have had to endure the same fate, and through it challenge each of us to not only listen but take the next steps required to make real changes in our profession and in the legal system. Mr. Baldwin generously suggested that we make the event a fund raiser also revolutionary! We are pleased to announce that the proceeds of the Kickoff will benefit the Legal Aid Foundation.
THURSDAY,

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
FRIDAY,
SPECIAL WORKSHOP!
he Pre-Conference Workshop, Assessment and Treatment of Families When Children are Alienated, Estranged, and/or Resist Contact, provides an intensive focus on theory, assessment, diagnosis, and research on reasons that children resist contact with a parent. Children resist or refuse contact in high conflict divorcing families for a myriad of reasons including parental alienation, estrangement, and/or other kinds of parenting problems. This workshop will emphasize treatment including guiding principles and a framework for work with these families. The field has moved forward significantly since the days of Gardner, the advent of Kelly and Johnston et als work in 2001, to a recent review of the research by Saini, Johnston, Fidler, and Bala (in press). Those things that we have learned in the past over a decade can guide the court, attorneys, mental health professionals, and parents to help children find safe ways to connect or re-connect with parents after the status of their family changes from being intact to divorced.
