About this Discussion

Join a candid Lunch and Learn conversation with Peace at Home founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW as she interviews experts on the issues that matter most to parents. Jump in, ask questions, make comments, and connect with other parents who are seeking answers to the tough questions.

Your relationship with your co-parent is one of the most powerful influences on your child’s emotional, behavioral, and academic well-being. Research shows that ongoing conflict between parents can increase stress for children, while strong, supportive co-parenting can reduce anxiety and improve overall adjustment.

In this engaging Lunch and Learn conversation, Ruth Freeman LCSW interviews Brian D. Doss, Ph.D. a leading voice behind the research-driven OurRelationship program, to explore how parent relationships directly impact children. Backed by over a decade of research, this approach has been shown to improve communication, reduce conflict, and even decrease adjustment problems in children.

Ruth and Brian will break down practical, evidence-based strategies parents can use right away to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a healthier family environment. This conversation will help you strengthen your co-parenting relationship—and support your child’s long-term success.
