There is such an enormous amount of knowledge and support given on these calls regarding alienation. It is extremely helpful to both alienated family members as well as professionals who work with alienated family members. Please make these calls a priority as they are very helpful to all. We have over 1,000 callers each month representing 37 states. You have 3 options to join our call either calling in on our conference line, audio skype or download our desk top app.

In this presentation, Linda will discuss  3 different aspects occurring in alienation ; topic 1: Coping with the new normal in a pandemic a) how to help yourself cope, how to help your children with whom you have contact cope, how to cope with the alienator’s escalated strategies in capitalizing on the pandemic to restrict contact; topic  2) The science behind the child’s natural instinct to lie and how the alienator capitalizes on that; topic 3) A surprise topic: stay tuned in.

Linda is a New York State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is also a published author on family therapy and parental alienation. Linda has been frequently cited and referenced by other authors and experts in the field. 

Linda was trained by the world-renowned, highly respected child psychiatrist, Salvador Minuchin. After she completed her training at the Minuchin Center for the Family, Linda served on the Center’s faculty from 2003-2007 where she trained child psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals who wished to learn the techniques of Dr. Minuchin’s structural family therapy. 

Linda’s professional services to 5000 children and their families in multiple settings and in multiple roles span 50 years. She began her work with 3000 adjudicated abused and/or neglected children in New York’s foster care system. Subsequent to this experience, Linda transitioned in 1994 into the mental health system at South Shore Child Guidance Center in Freeport, Long Island where she designed, implemented, and supervised a home-based crisis intervention program to prevent the psychiatric hospitalization of a child. Linda additionally accepted referrals and appointments from local family courts to provide family counseling and parent coordination services to parents who were engaged in adversarial custody conflicts. 

In 2003, Linda focused her practice almost exclusively on helping parents settle their custody conflicts in the best interests of their children. After writing her 2012 book on parental alienation, Linda further concentrated her clinical practice on the sub- specialty of parental alienation—a highly dysfunctional family dynamic that is accepted by overwhelming consensus within the scientific community to be a profound form of psychological child abuse. 

Based upon what Linda had learned from the clinical literature, from colleagues who are leading experts in the field of alienation, and from her extensive evidence-based practice with approximately 650 alienated children and with approximately 1000 children whose parents were undergoing separation/divorce but who did not experience alienation, Linda developed a specialized reunification intervention to 
treat unjustifiably severed/severely damaged parent-child relationships. The intervention had proven to be highly successful—even in cases in which the severed parent-child relationships exceeded 4 years. 

In 2015, Linda further refined her specialized reunification intervention, and it became the treatment protocol she now employs at Turning Points for Families, her 4-day intensive intervention to jump-start unjustified severed/severely damaged parent-child relationships. 
​
Linda further provides supervision in alienation and estrangement to custody evaluators, clinicians, forensic evaluators, and to other professionals who intervene in custody cases in which alienation is alleged. Linda also maintains a small practice testifying as an expert witness in family dynamics, alienation, estrangement, family therapy, and child abuse.

MISSION  STATEMENT

Our main concern is the children and grandchildren and then the complete family.  Sadly the children and grandchildren who are alienated from family are being treated as pawns and property. They are neither. They are human beings.They should not be regarded as such by their parents or any other family member.  We contend that it should be illegal to use children as pawns or instruments of spiteful behavior in an effort to prevent them from interaction with ALL other family members.  Our purpose and goal is to ensure the preservation of extended, traditional family relationships. In the process of this hell on earth called alienation, we need all the knowledge and support we can get to help our children and grandchildren and then ourselves. To contact us, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

GOALS

  • We will work in bringing awareness to people on the subject of alienation and the effects it has on both the children, grandchildren and their families. Alienation is abuse! We will have many of our top experts and professionals regarding alienation in the world sharing information on their own pages here to help you learn more on alienation and other topics regarding alienation. We are also expanding our web site with much more information including locations of support groups in your area, professionals in your area who do have knowledge of alienation as well as blogs by experts and testimonies from alienated family members and also books that can help you on this subject of alienation.
  • To offer international seminar calls with guest speakers who have expertise in the subject matter for that call in giving support and knowledge to alienated family members and professionals who work in the field of alienation. Parental alienation and grandparent alienation and all other family members is hell on earth as too it is for the children and grandchildren dealing with this. These calls are a tremendous help to those going through this and those who work with those who are. There is no charge to any of this as this is a ministry to help those in need and also help professionals in dealing with this. Please join us.

HISTORY

In April 2012, Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights was founded by Elaine Cobb who is also president. Elaine herself is alienated from her granddaughter Dare who she has never seen and is now 8 years old and her adult son Bryan who she has not seen since December 26, 2010. Her granddaughter Dare is alienated from her whole side of her daddy's family. This is why she determined to try in helping make a difference in this abuse being caused to the children, grandchildren and family members. In the beginning, her goal was to help those in the state of North Carolina where the founder  and president, Elaine Cobb resides. In just a short time, Elaine realized that alienation was a huge epidemic which was indeed all over our world. She realized at that time she wanted to do all that she could to help those suffering through this hell on earth. This is her ministry and she charges no one for any of our sources for you. She started the international seminar calls nationwide. In less than a year, she took the calls on an international level. Now Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights helps in supporting 36 countries in educating as many alienated family members and professionals in regards to alienation through our international seminar calls. 

We also know one of the biggest ways to defeat alienation is to bring more awareness to those who know nothing or very little about alienation. This website was designed with that in mind as well as giving information to alienated family members to help them know all they can to get through this and one day hopefully be able to see their alienated loved ones. It is also here to help professionals i.e.., attorneys, mental health professionals, judges, legislators, school officials, researchers, writers, child advocates, etc. There is much to learn and we hope to give all as much as we can to help.

Laws must be changed as well to protect the rights of these alienated children and grandchildren to see ALL their family members. Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights has worked tirelessly for equal shared parenting laws as well as grandparents' rights. We will continue in this fight for all the children and grandchildren in our world. Alienation is abuse!!!
