Family Reunification Program - Incentive Counselling

Helping Families Navigate Separation, Divorce, and Co-parenting Challenges

After years of working with families going through separation and divorce, it became clear that traditional counselling failed to address some of the negative effects of this loss. Traditional methods were sometimes harmful.

Family intervention pillars include specialized training for communication difficulties and evidence-based programming. Despite early intervention's advantages, many families are entangled in high-conflict lawsuits, causing long-term psychological and emotional harm to children and parents.

New Ways for Families®

Incentive Counselling has adapted the New Ways for Families® program to meet the unique needs of children and parents.

Bill Eddy from the High Conflict Institute made the New Ways for Families® program, which is offered worldwide. As a result of the programs, couples divorcing or splitting up and, in particular, the children involved have shown significant benefits.

The program teaches parents how to negotiate and make separation less challenging for children. By communicating better, people avoid courts and lawsuits. Financially, this keeps you from becoming enemies, and your child or children will benefit.

Our program has been changed to ensure it works well, and a new part has been added to help lessen the harmful effects of divorce on children. Studies show that it’s not the separation that hurts kids but the extra fighting that can come after it. A big part of our programs is ensuring your kids are safe.
