Intercultural Couples
New Zealand is rapidly becoming more diverse, and the number of intercultural marriages is growing. Unsurprisingly, research indicates that divorce rates amongst intercultural marriages are higher.
This presentation with Nurit Zubery will unravel key insights on the journeys, strengths, complexities and challenges of navigating intercultural relational dynamics. It will explore the competencies and tools mediators need to help intercultural families achieve a successful co-parenting relationship.
In this interactive session, you will be invited to share your own experiences and thoughts and work on developing tools to better support intercultural families navigate the differences between the two homes after separation.
