An Ally in Divorce Benefit Event for Kids Managing Conflict
60 Minutes, On Zoom, Wednesday, December 3, 2025
12 pm PT / 2 pm CT / 3 pm ET
Join a conversation that contributes! On Wednesday, December 3, Carolyn Jacobs, founder of Ally in Divorce, will host a virtual benefit to support Kids Managing Conflict, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that strengthens and funds peer mediation programs in K–12 schools. Carolyn will sit down with Dr. Marygrace Berberian, Director of the Graduate Art Therapy Program at New York University, and a board-certified art therapist and clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in community-based mental health for children and families.
This conversation considers how children understand, express, and navigate interpersonal conflict. We’ll aim to offer ideas for parents, educators, and other supporting adults to better recognize and encourage productive conflict communication for children with their peers.
Drawing on Dr. Berberian’s extensive work with families and schools, we will explore children's expressions, obstacles, and opportunities in peer interpersonal conflict. We’ll also discuss what adults might overlook in these situations and how they can best support children in expressing and resolving conflict in ways that engage empathy and build skills for a lifetime of difficult conversations.
Registration is $10 per attendee, and Ally in Divorce will donate 100% of the proceeds to Kids Managing Conflict. Carolyn Jacobs serves on KMC’s Board of Directors.
This program is for:
• Parents
• ADR Professionals
• Educators
• Mental Health Professionals
• Parenting Professionals
• Youth Program Staff
• Anyone hoping to support children in building relational skills
