Collaboration Beyond Coaching: The Value of the DCAO for Allied Professionals

This segment explores how professionals who regularly work with individuals going through separation or divorce, even if they are not divorce coaches or family lawyers, can benefit from involvement with the Divorce Coaches Association of Ontario (DCAO).

Leanne Townsend and Heather Tannenbaum discuss how collaboration and professional networking are essential when supporting people through complex life transitions like divorce. Professionals such as real estate agents, therapists, and financial advisors each bring their own expertise and perspective, and the DCAO creates space for those perspectives to intersect in meaningful ways.

Through collaboration, professionals are better equipped to support shared clients. Examples are given of working alongside real estate agents on issues related to the matrimonial home, highlighting how cross-disciplinary insight can improve outcomes during mediation and decision-making.

Ultimately, the DCAO is presented as a valuable opportunity for allied professionals to connect, share knowledge, and strengthen the overall support system for individuals and families navigating separation and divorce.
