     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Joan Kloth-Zanard back to the podcast. Joan was last on Season 4, Episodes 6,52 and 72.  Joan has a Masters Magna Cum Laude in Marriage and Family Therapy, a BS in Health and Psychology with a Minor in Business which includes extensive training and certification in Reunification Therapy and work with children. Joan has also been a Guardian Ad Litem and Certified as a Recovery Support Specialist in ABI.      Joan is an author of numerous articles and publications including two books. Her first book, "Where Did I Go Wrong? How Did I Miss The Signs? Dealing with Hostile Parenting and Parental Alienation," is now in its second edition.    We discussed Joan's latest article, "Who's The Parent? When a parent claims they cannot get a child to visit or go to therapy with the other parent." Joan explained the issues of Family Court and how the child is "parentified" and "adultified." How can a child make an adult decision when their brains aren't fully developed? A good parent would have a more respectful child that listens to them and respects parents wishes, such as doing their chores. When a parent can't control their child they are making their own problems and don't have to listen to authority and then parent themselves. Authority must be reversed so the child doesn't have the authority. Parents in custodial fights claim they can't  get their child to  go to therapy/visitation -- "if you can't get your child to do these things clearly the parent is having issues in having authority and are parentifying the child. The child will then have no respect for figures of authority," Joan states. Even the therapists are encouraging the child to control the parent.    Joan and I discussed the wealth of information that is on YouTube, such as The Law Center with Attorney G Lawrence DeMarco as well as other issues facing the family courts.To Reach Joan Kloth-Zanard:  pasintervention@gmail.com (or aol.com)This episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Joan Kloth-Zanard to the podcast.  She was last on the podcast January 2nd, 2023 Season 4, Episode 6 and 52. Joan has a Masters Magna Cum Laude in Marriage and Family Therapy, a BS in Health and Psychology with a Minor in Business which includes extensive training and certification in Reunification Therapy and work with children. Joan has also been a Guardian Ad Litem and Certified as a Recovery Support Specialist in ABI.     Presently, Joan runs and manages a non-profit with over 50 chapters around the world. This 501 (c) (3) is an international non-profit organization for the Prevention, Intervention and Support of Survivors of abuse (www.pasintervention.com). Part of this work includes running online support groups for these Survivors of Abuse and in particular, Psychological Abuse since 1998.      Joan is an author of numerous articles and publications including two books. Her first book, "Where Did I Go Wrong? How Did I Miss The Signs? Dealing with Hostile Parenting and Parental Alienation," is now in its second edition.    We discussed that Custodial Interference is a FELONY. We also discussed a case where a Superior Court judge in CT, that understands shared parenting, where he DENIED a motion to reduce time with the dad because he believed this would PERPETUATE PARENTAL ALIENATION. This has cost the parents hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation.  On April 3rd, 2023, The Honorable Judge Moukawasher heard a motion by Mother's attorneys to Modify Post Judgment reducing the father's weekend time, giving Mother all decision making authority, unspecified relief including child support and attorney fees. All DENIED. The judge questioned, how these modifications would IMPROVE the Father's RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHILDREN? This line of questioning is likely  related to the Friendly Parent Factor, that CT judges are supposed to consider in Child Custody matters where each parent is to facilitate and encourage a relationship with the parent as is appropriate. The judge used the term "ALIENATION," to describe the possible outcome if the modifications were granted. If the Father is unfit for 50/50 time then is he unfit for any time with his children? If the Mother succeeded in reducing weekend time and obtained all decision making authority she would receive the RESIDENTIAL PARENTAL DESIGNATION and the Father would play LITTLE to NO ROLE in the children's lives. This is a fascinating case where CPS got involved and ACTUALLY helped the FAMILY. Excellent podcast not to be missed.    To Reach Joan Kloth-Zanard:  pasintervention@gmail.com (or aol.com)                                                                   info@advocate4families.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/

This book is a culmination of all her research and studies into the world of high conflict divorce. She is also the co-author of "Broken Family Bonds," which is a book of survivor's stories of alienation.    We discussed how Custodial Interference is a Federal and state Felony, a criminal act and every state has different laws regarding this issue.     An example of Coercive Control is when a parent, agency or relative/friend deliberately impedes the relationship between the child and the other parent, this requires a particular set of behavior patterns such as using excessive psychological Coercive Control. Using behavior patterns that terrorize or create a fear or falsely lull a person in a cult like manner to believe that this other parent is no good. This brings in Parental Alienating Behaviors (PAB).     This is a form of COERCIVE CONTROL, but more specific to behaviors that DIRECTLY IMPEDE the relationship with the other parent. Parental Alienating behaviors create a CULT of fear of hate, anger and rage at another person, much like any cult it WARPS A PERSON'S MIND into this false belief about something. All of this boils down to a form of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE but, that we call DOMESTIC VIOLENCE by PROXY, because the OFFENDING parent or person or agency is not physically touching you, they are not directly necessarily  gaslighting you they are  PROJECTING it through the children, another person, agency, the courts now making it BY PROXY.

“Coordinating a Community Response to the Opioid Epidemic” was presented on June 18, 2019; by Molly Welch Marahar, MPP; WHI Opioid Project Coordinator, Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation; and Carrie Rheingans, MSW, MPH; WHI Project Manager, Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation, and a panel including Marci Scalera, ACSW, LMSW, CAADC, Director of Clinical & SUD Services, Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan; Matt Hill, Program Manager, Washtenaw Recovery Advocacy Project, Home of New Vision; and Dr. John Hopper, MD, Addiction Medicine Specialist, St. Joseph Mercy Medical Group. Opioid overdose was described as an “epidemic” by CDC Director Thomas Frieden in 2011.  Since then, this epidemic has had a catastrophic impact on families and placed tremendous strain on communities, and our Southeast Michigan community is no exception. What is being done to change this?  The WHI Opioid Project is a cross sector coalition that was formed to address the opioid crisis in Washtenaw County. The Opioid Project has members from the health systems, local substance use agencies, government, schools, law enforcement, academia and the recovering community who come together to collectively design and implement policy changes to stem the tide of opioid overdose. From Red Barrel Events, to Naloxone trainings, to prevention education in schools, the Opioid Project is the touchpoint for initiatives at all levels of public health intervention, from prevention to treatment to harm reduction to policy advocacy. This program will discuss coordinating a community-level response to the opioid epidemic from a public health perspective, and ways for all to get involved.  This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues.  The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.

“People Like Me: Mutual Aid and Recovery from Substance Use Disorders” was presented on April 23, 2019; Todd Diana, Dawn Farm staff, and a five-member panel. Since the 1700’s people have banded together to help each other recover from substance use disorders. Today, people seeking peer support for recovery from substance use disorders, as well as family members and friends of people with substance use disorders, have an expansive menu of mutual aid groups they can participate in. Research demonstrates that active involvement in mutual aid recovery groups significantly improves a person’s chances of long-term recovery and supports the effectiveness and practical impact of mutual aid groups. For people seeking recovery support, mutual aid groups often provide a sense of belonging, understanding, acceptance and connection as well as practical help and support. This presentation will provide an overview of the history, development and current status of mutual aid recovery programs in the USA, and the research supporting the efficacy of mutual aid participation in supporting sustained recovery. The program will include a panel discussion by members of a sampling of substance use disorder recovery mutual aid programs. (Please note: Dawn Farm is not affiliated with any recovery mutual aid program or group.) This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.
