Child Inclusive Mediation and Counselling (CIMC)

Child Inclusive Mediation & Counselling (CIMC) is an evidence based intervention for separated parents in dispute, designed to support and powerfully realign co-parenting, by focusing on the experiences of their children. The work combines skillful developmental consultation with children, and strategic, therapeutic feedback conversations with their parents, within a mediation or counselling process, in court or community based services. Child Inclusion is a powerful intervention with proven potential to support co-parenting and children’s adjustment pathways after separation.

This online course is taught by pioneer of the method, Professor Jennifer McIntosh, acclaimed child psychologist and researcher in the divorce and family trauma field. The skills and knowledge in the CIMC course are ideal for counsellors, mediators, child specialists, therapists, children’s lawyers, parenting coordinators and more, and adaptable to many modalities and settings… wherever supporting parenting after separation is a focus.
