In 2008, she led an initiative for children of divorce when invited to speak to Scotland's First Minister and members of Scottish Parliament. Over the past two years, Christina has worked closely with the family lawyer organization, Resolution, to develop the Parenting After Parting program and orchestrate the launch of six pilot regions offering informational workshops for separated parents across England and Wales.
