SPARSH Reunification Program

The SPARSH program is primarily focused on addressing situations where parent-child relationships are disrupted in a context of alienation, estrangement, high conflict and complexity. Child(ren) may be disconnected from a parent due to influences of the other parent or the behaviour of the rejected parent by touching Topics which can be identified and through a process addressed. 

SPARSH can also address separating and divorcing families that have disrupted relationships between parents and children and/or conflicted relationships between parents. We work efficiently with all family members to reduce conflict and provide the best possible family environment for everyone, especially the children.

SPARSH is available both to families working outside the court system in Mediation and Collaborative Law as well as those who are involved in court processes. We can provide cost-effective, in-depth therapeutic support for separation transitions, independently from or together with liaison to the court or relevant others.

SPARSH includes:

Senior child, adult and family therapists;

• Specialists in separation / divorce issues
• Legal and therapeutic professionals

How Does SPARSH Work?

SPARSH provides therapists for each parent and child(ren), who then work as a team to understand the whole family.
