Social workers know that familial separation can inflict stress on all family members. However, children can be especially impacted as they navigate new situations and new feelings.
Luckily, great resources are available to the public to help make these transitions easier. Fordham GSS Master of Social Work (MSW) alumni Marcus Stallworth, GSS ’05 and adjunct instructor, is supplying such resources.
Stallworth currently works as the director of training and implementation at the Child Welfare League of America. He has collaborated with Relias, a company that offers healthcare training platforms, to educate the public about how to navigate familial separation. The first came through a webinar titled “Co-Parenting Building Blocks to Prioritize Children’s Mental Health and Development,” where Stallworth discussed:
How separation can affect a child’s identity and self-esteem
Strength-based and solution-focused strategies and techniques to create consistency and support when co-parenting
How to assist separating families, community providers, and more in learning how to work together with the common goal of putting the needs of children first
