Parenting Through Separation and Divorce: Supporting Children with Clarity and Care with Elisabeth Shaw

When a relationship ends, parenting continues—and how parents navigate that transition can shape a child’s long-term wellbeing. In this thoughtful and compassionate episode, Dr. Jenny Brown speaks with Elisabeth Shaw, CEO of Relationships Australia NSW and a leading clinical psychologist & family therapist, about guiding families through separation with clarity, steadiness, and care. 

Drawing on decades of experience, Elisabeth offers practical insights into what truly supports children during times of upheaval—emphasising the importance of managing our own emotional responses, maintaining boundaries, and avoiding placing children in the middle of adult conflict. Together, they explore how parents can use what remains in their control to foster stability, connection, and resilience, even as family structures change. 

This episode offers grounded guidance for parents, as well as clinicians and educators, focusing on emotional maturity, leadership in parenting, and protecting children’s wellbeing during one of the most challenging transitions in family life.
