Co-parenting in the context of domestic violence (DV) presents a complex intersection of safety concerns, legal restrictions, and heightened emotional and behavioral needs for children and families.Traditional co-parenting models often fail when power and control dynamics persist after separation, especially when restraining orders, injunctions, or supervised communication protocols are in place. This training provides clinicians with a comprehensive, trauma-informed framework for supporting children and families navigating co-parenting arrangements impacted by DV. Drawing from neuropsychology, developmental science, and evidence-based therapeutic practices, this presentation explores how chronic exposure to threat affects the developing brain, including disruptions in executive functioning, emotional regulation, and social cognition. Participants will gain insight into how these neurological changes manifest behaviorally across developmental stages and how these presentations may complicate treatment engagement and family dynamics. Clinicians will learn how to modify their therapeutic approach across settings—including in-home, community-based, school-based, and in-center sessions—to ensure safety, ethical integrity, and effective intervention. Emphasis is placed on preventing triangulation, managing high-conflict parent interactions, and applying trauma-responsive strategies that prioritize stabilization, regulation, and child-centered care. The training also examines documentation practices, collaboration with legal systems, and clinician self-care to reduce the risk of vicarious trauma. This CEU equips professionals with practical tools, case examples, and a structured decision-making model to enhance clinical effectiveness when working with families impacted by DV. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of trauma, neuropsychology, and safe co-parenting dynamics—and how these elements must shape clinical decision-making and intervention planning.

She has presented at conferences, facilitated professional workshops, and continues to create practical, research-informed trainings for clinicians, parents, educators, and community agencies. Currently completing her fourth year in the Clinical PsyD program at Albizu University, Enasha remains deeply committed to bridging ABA, mental health, trauma science, and social impact. When she’s not immersed in data, domestic violence research, or executive functioning program design, you can find her binge-watching TV, drawing, reading, spending time with her daughters, or passionately debating anime plotlines. Enasha believes that addressing domestic violence requires supporting all individuals involved—including those who cause harm. By holding perpetrators accountable while providing behavioral and psychological support, she aims to address the root of the issue and break generational cycles.
