When parents are cut off from their kids after separation, or have serious relationship problems with them, they might ask Family Court Judges to fix to fix the problem by ordering an “alienation workshop.” Those programs promise to fix the problem in a few days. However, several jurisdictions have banned parental alienation workshops. The reasons relate to what happens at those programs, and sometimes that they can perpetuate family violence. The treatment protocols of these programs are trade secrets and so the program providers do not publish exactly what they do.

But, In this episode of the Ontario Family Law Podcast, Certified Specialist in Family Law, John Schuman, reveals what, through litigating parental alienation cases, he saw program providers testify. He has obtained the transcripts of what they said. In this episode he plays those transcripts so parents can find out exactly what happens at parental alienation treatment programs.
