Navigating the Impacts of Divorce on Adult Children:
A FREE Webinar
Wednesday, January 22, 2025 • 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (EDT)
Divorce later in life can have significant emotional and psychological effects on adult children. Divorce and separation at any age is hard and as our population ages, "gray divorces" and "silver splitters" are becoming increasing common. Indeed, the number of American couples separating after the age of 50 is on the rise. In this one-hour webinar, attorney Jacqueline Moss and social worker/therapist Steve Young will explore how later-life divorce impacts adult children, including changes in family dynamics, emotional challenges, and strategies for coping. Participants will gain insights into the unique challenges faced by adult children of divorce and how to support them through this transition. This session offers valuable advice for individuals and professionals navigating these complex family shifts.
This is a free event though pre-registration is required.
