Family estrangements or cutoffs are extremely widespread, affecting literally millions of people of all ages. The pain and damage from a cutoff can have a ripple effect that is passed down for generations.

Why are cutoffs so common? What are the causes? What can families do to prevent or repair rifts? How can we as Social Workers intervene to help the family find a path forward?
