More About Our Special Guest, Charmaine Panko: Charmaine Panko is King's Counsel, a collaborative lawyer, mediator, arbitrator and trainer based in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Canada. She has a passion for transforming how families experience separation and divorce. She also seeks to empower other professionals who work with families to use non-adversarial approaches that have a future focus and recognize that separation is simply a reconfiguration of the family system - it doesn't mean the family is broken. Just because the spousal relationship is ending doesn't meaning the family is.
