Topic guide

Family Reunification

Reunification works when it follows the family’s readiness rather than a calendar. These guides cover what reunification therapy is, how readiness is judged, how to set the pace of contact, and how to respond when a child resists.

Start here

Readiness and the Continuum of Care

How clinicians judge whether a family is ready for the next step.

When a child resists or refuses contact

Three different angles: the clinical framework, the neutral view of labels, and what to say in the moment.

Setting the pace: more contact, or less

Deciding when to step contact up and when to step it back.
