Child Inclusive Mediation
Child Inclusive Mediation (CIM) aims to improve co-parenting quality and form responsive parenting arrangements.
In this approach, the child's experiences and developmental needs are carefully considered with parents, in their dispute resolution, and with the assistance of a mediator.
CIM works to influence a change in the parental state of mind, encouraging parents to refocus on and plan for the needs of their children post-separation. The work combines developmental consultations with children, within a therapeutic mediation process, occurring either within court or community-based services.
Custody Evaluations
For separated or divorced parents struggling to determine appropriate visitation and access arrangements of shared children. Custody Evaluations are typically ordered by the Court when families undergoing divorce proceedings cannot reach agreement on arrangements for their children; psychological evaluation of each of the family members helps the Judge to determine what custody arrangements will be in the child’s best interests.
The aim of our data-driven report is to not only provide measured information on the psychological functioning of each family member but to highlight the strengths each parent can offer and thereby maximise the child’s exposure to these. The report also serves to document the parenting concerns of each party, so they are fully heard, and to address these in the final section of recommendations. The report recommendations further aim to promote self-healing amongst each participant and provide for a continuing forum to monitor the adequacy of the arrived-at arrangements.
Custody Evaluations thereby add clarity for families at this extremely distressing time, highlighting specific difficulties faced by each of the children and suggesting a helpful path forwards.
Psychological & Parenting Capacity Evaluations
Dr. Craigen can provide bespoke psychological testing services for individuals, parents, businesses, sports teams, expedition teams, and more. Boarding schools and other speciality schools may require psychological testing as part of the admission process; prospective adoptive parents are often required to undergo full psychological evaluation as part of the background procedures, and those individuals facing criminal charges may often benefit from a psychological evaluation. We have also provided psychological evaluations for those with more unusual needs -- such as to support an application for a gun license.
​
Dr. Craigen can also work closely with psychiatrists in Hong Kong, particularly when they require measured data on a patient’s psychological functioning.
