Protecting Childhood Through the Storm of Divorce

Kerry and Palmer—mother and son, therapists, and survivors—bring hope, insight, and strategies to protect kids caught in the crossfire of divorce.

For Legal Professionals

As a legal professional guiding families through divorce, you play a pivotal role in shaping outcomes that extend far beyond the courtroom. The way conflict is handled during legal proceedings can profoundly impact a child’s emotional wellbeing—sometimes for life. By recognizing early warning signs and promoting child-centered approaches, you have the power to reduce psychological harm and help preserve the most critical relationships in a child’s world.

For Parents

Divorce can be one of the most stressful experiences in a child’s life—not because parents separate, but because of how they separate. When conflict runs high, children often feel caught in the middle, confused, and emotionally overwhelmed. Even when kids don’t outwardly show it, the stress can leave lasting marks on their mental and emotional wellbeing. But it doesn’t have to. With care, awareness, and the right support, you can protect your child’s inner world, foster resilience, and ensure they continue to feel safe, loved, and connected—even as your family changes shape.

For Event Organizers

Kerry and Palmer deliver a one-of-a-kind presentation that blends lived experience, clinical insight, and heartfelt storytelling to captivate audiences and inspire change. Having presented to hundreds of professionals and parents across the U.S. and internationally, their dynamic mother-son approach offers both emotional depth and practical tools. Event organizers consistently praise their ability to move audiences while equipping them with strategies that can be implemented immediately. Whether speaking to legal professionals, mental health providers, educators, or parents, Kerry and Palmer leave a lasting impact—making them a standout choice for conferences, keynotes, and professional training events.
