BECOME A CERTIFIED CHILD CUSTODY EVALUATOR!

Child custody evaluation is a challenging, rewarding, interesting, lucrative, and impactful specialization with the forensic mental health evaluation field.  Evaluators must not only be knowledgeable of mental health, diagnosis, and evaluation, but must also be experts both in adult and child pathology, healthy childhood development, parenting, and family systems.  

This workshop is an "on demand" recording.  After viewing the workshop recording, attendees complete a webinar evaluation survey and forward it to NBFE for continuing education credit.  

The workshop was designed to aid licensed mental health professionals (i.e., clinical mental health counselors, clinical social workers, clinical and counseling psychologists, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners) in expanding their knowledge in the specialty area of child custody.  

For experienced evaluators, this workshop may serve as a helpful review, sharpen your skill set, enhance your CV, or provide you with an update.  

For evaluators who are new to this speciality, this workshop will help you expand your knowledge in child custody and is part of the certification process to become a Certified Child Custody Evaluator (CCCE) credential.  In addition to attending this workshop, evaluators interested in the CCCE credential must already be a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE),  complete a Child Custody Evaluators Certification Training Homestudy ($299) and pass the post-homestudy test.  If you are not a CFMHE but wish to obtain the CCCE credential, you may attend this workshop now but will need to obtain the CFMHE credential before you can be eligible for the CCCE credential.  


WORKSHOP GOALS:
  1. Develop skills and techniques to evaluate parents involved in child custody matters.
  2. Develop an understanding of the dynamics involved in family custody conflicts.
  3. Become skilled at writing a “bullet proof” forensic child custody report.
  4. Develop an understanding of the importance of a contract and fee agreement.


OBJECTIVES:

  1. At the end of the workshop, the participants will have the opportunity to discuss child custody issues and conflicts that may arise
  2. Avoidance of disqualification and impeachment during testimony and disposition.
  3. Increase knowledge of child custody State Statutes.
