A LEGAL WORKSHOP FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS:

DAVID GOLDMAN'S UNWAVERING BATTLE TO REUNITE WITH HIS ABDUCTED SON

On Nov 5th, 2011, we are pleased to provide a very special legal workshop with a very special guest.

Mr. David Goldman will speak, firsthand, about the legal and mental health related issues he has dealt with resulting from the abduction of his son, Sean, to Brazil by his wife. He and Sean (then four-years old) were separated for five and a half years until they were finally reunited in 2009 with support from such high level U.S. government officials as New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith, New Jersey Senator Frank R. Lautenberg and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. News of the decision made headlines around the world (See excerpted article below).

Mr. Goldman will describe his legal battles domestically and internationally, and share the emotional impact that the abduction has had on him and his family. Issues to be discussed will include:

• Mental health issues related to Parental Child Abduction
• The Hague Convention and its enforcement
• Fathers' rights/Parental alienation
• Visitation access by family members

Mr. Goldman recently completed a memoir entitled "A Father's Love, One Man's Unrelenting Battle to Bring His Abducted Son Home". It chronicles his ordeal and how his commitment and love for his son helped him stay the path and continue the fight for their eventual reunion. He will talk about the relevant legal and personal challenges discussed in his book.

This workshop may qualify for Continuing Education Units (CEU's), as most past attendees have received credits from their professional organizations for participating.
