Join us for an insightful discussion on managing boundaries within families, focusing on the complex dynamics of familial estrangement.

In recent years, familial estrangement has become a topic of increasing awareness, often signaling a culmination of negative communication patterns among family members. However, the reasons behind these sudden breaks in ties can be unclear, leaving families grappling with fractured bonds.

Today, we're fortunate to have Jordan Allen, Ph.D., a distinguished scholar of interpersonal and family communication, guiding us through this conversation. Her research delves into how individuals navigate and sometimes mismanage challenging family conversations, shedding light on ways to improve communication in both personal and professional settings.

Currently, Jordan's research is centered on understanding how parents and children communicate about religious differences, offering valuable insights into navigating sensitive topics within families.

In addition to her research, Jordan is passionate about mentoring students to become effective communicators, designing courses that foster empowered communication practices.

Don't miss this enlightening discussion as we explore boundary management techniques that help foster healthier communication within families.
