Takeaways

• 😀 The Public Prosecutor's Office in Florianópolis is exploring new approaches to resolve family conflicts, particularly those related to parental separation, to reduce the emotional impact on children and adolescents.
• 😀 Family separation often leads to parents confusing the end of their relationship with the need to continue a positive relationship with their children.
• 😀 When the Public Prosecutor notices this confusion, they can request the judge to order parents to participate in a group called GAR, which supports and helps separated parents understand their roles.
• 😀 GAR is a group for reflection and support for separated parents, where they can come to understand the perspective of their children and adjust their behavior accordingly.
• 😀 The group is facilitated by professionals, helping parents see the conflict from their children's viewpoint, as children often view their family as still intact despite the separation.
• 😀 Parents in GAR have the opportunity to interact with others in similar situations, facilitating mutual understanding and reflection on their actions.
• 😀 For example, in GAR, a father who hasn’t seen his children in a long time can connect with a mother who has been preventing the father from seeing them, allowing them to recognize each other's perspectives.
• 😀 GAR helps parents move beyond personal feelings, allowing them to focus on the concrete situation of the child and improve their co-parenting relationship.
• 😀 Over time, parents who participate in GAR improve their communication skills, reducing the need for judicial intervention in future conflicts.
• 😀 The GAR initiative is part of the 'Piaf' program, a larger effort by the Santa Catarina Public Prosecutor's Office to promote family self-resolution, prioritizing dialogue and consensus in conflict resolution.
