What is a Child Specialist?
A Child Specialist is a mental health professional with specific training and expertise in child development and family systems. A Child Specialist acts as a neutral party and assists parents in understanding their children’s needs as well as what research has found to increase resiliency and decrease risk. This helps parents make the most informed decisions during the separation and divorce process.
A Child Specialist helps parents make decisions that take their children’s feelings and needs into account and gives children a voice in the creation of a parenting plan. After divorce, a Child Specialist can help families navigate transitions, such as a parent having a new significant other or the need for placement schedules to change as children age.
