Going through a divorce is always difficult and complicated, no matter what your circumstances. And when there are children involved, it can be even more fraught and heartbreaking. If you are a divorced dad who is fortunate enough to have shared or full custody of your child(ren), you might be surprised at the lack of resources available to help you navigate your new life as a single father. My guest today is trying to help change that.
Elena Locker-Torres is a licensed master social worker and family counselor who works with divorced parents—especially fathers—and their children. She is also a clinical forensic specialist who works with children undergoing the most adverse of circumstances. She is the founder of Together Family Wellness, a counseling and support service for parents and families. Having grown up as an only child whose own parents divorced when she was little, she brings both her professional and personal insights to this important topic.
