Models for Assessing Parenting Ability with Dr. Anthony Townsend

Join SAAM on Friday, 27 February 2026, for our latest webinar, Models for Assessing Parenting Abilities, presented by Dr Anthony Townsend.

Care and contact evaluations require more than binary conclusions. They demand clarity, structure, and defensible decision-making that genuinely serves the Best Interests of the Child.

This webinar introduces a contemporary, evidence-based approach to assessing parenting ability. Designed for professionals working in high-stakes family law matters, the session offers practical tools to enhance objectivity, guide intervention, and strengthen assessment outcomes.
