What Lies Beneath
Hidden Forces Shaping Families in Transition
May 27-30, 2026 | The Westin Seattle
Family transitions are never just about logistics. Beneath the surface, underlying forces shape the experience: cultural expectations, psychological wounds, and unconscious motivations to name a few. As the world becomes more complex, family law professionals are called to deepen our understanding of these hidden layers to serve families more justly and compassionately. Join us as we uncover what lies beneath the surface of family transitions and explore emerging practices to respond with empathy, integrity, and skill.
