‘Strengthening Children in Two Homes’: A Resilience‐Oriented Approach to Empowering Children and Their Parents Amid Prolonged Conflict

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This article provides a description of the resilience‐oriented family therapy model Strengthening Children in Two Homes (SC2H). The goal of this child‐inclusive family therapy model is to promote resilience for children in two homes, and their parents in prolonged conflict. The key elements of the family therapy model are described through a case study. The aim of establishing conflict‐managed parallel parenting is discussed, in contrast to the traditional focus on conflict resolution and establishing cooperative parenting. The article concludes with some reflections from implementing the model in the statutory family counselling services in Norway.
