The always-popular Meet the Mental Health Professional Night is back!
Occurrences in the greater community – be it the Covid pandemic or increased polarization – reverberate in the lives of the families we serve. This year’s panelists will share observations about behaviors on the rise in court and their practices, offer insights about how this impacts the work we do, suggest tools and strategies for addressing these challenges, and examine effective ways to work with mental health professionals to benefit our clients.
Join us for a stimulating conversation with panel members Michael J. Convey, Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court (Central District), Dr. Mesha Ellis of Ellis Evaluation and Consulting Services, Joseph A. Langlois of Langlois Family Law APC, and moderator Ellyn J. Stein, Esquire.
Following the panel discussion, participating mental health professionals from a variety of backgrounds will have several minutes to introduce themselves. All program attendees will receive an electronic Reference Booklet containing the detailed Questionnaires completed by participating mental health professionals.
