The hidden pain of family estrangement
Wounded family relationships are complicated and rarely talked about. Most people suffering from lost or damaged family relationships feel isolated and ashamed, unable to move forward past the pain of estrangement.
Discover hope again.
Family estrangement is incredibly common, which is why many experts have devoted their lives to helping people take the next step toward healing. We’ve brought together over a dozen authors, psychologists, coaches and acclaimed speakers to teach you how to understand your family dynamics, overcome the pain of loss, and find your joy again.
The 2021 Moving Beyond Family Struggles Summit: Overcoming Family Estrangement
is an all-access package of video workshops taught by 15 leading experts in the areas of family estrangement, relationships, mental health, and wellness.
Finding you own strength
Now more than ever, we’re witnessing a wave of individuals who want healthier family relationships.The Summit gathers teachers from all over the world to teach you how to navigate expectations (from society and family), heal heartbreak, and create healthy boundaries that build a healthier life.
Find your path to wisdom.
Much of our suffering comes from what we don’t know. Family estrangement can feel out of our control, but we can increase our self-awareness, foster joy, and heal relational wounds. By learning from a diverse band of world experts, you’ll gain a wealth of wisdom and find the right next step for you.
It’s time to thrive
Too often, fractured family relationships leave us stuck in grief. Because family estrangement is plagued by shame, we don’t know how to navigate its complexities. But there is reason to have hope: there are tools and practices that we can use to accept our circumstances and live fully. Now’s the time to look forward with hope.
Who it’s for
The Summit is designed for anyone who wants to live a rich and fulfilling life, despite a partial or total loss of a close family relationship.

Meet your Host:
Yasmin Kerkez.
I’m a life coach, speaker and co-founder of Family Support Resources with my husband Michael. We started Family Support Resources out of our passion to shine a light on family struggles that are rarely discussed, and uplift and inspire those experiencing these challenges.
Most people facing family estrangement don’t know where to turn for help. From my own journey through family difficulties, I’ve learned from incredible experts how to embrace my circumstances with loving acceptance, overcome grief, and reclaim my life. Now, I want to offer you access to some of the world’s most devoted teachers and leaders in this area, so that you can start living again.
