Dr. Greene, I wanted to touch base about an upcoming change in our family. Bobby and I have decided to get a divorce. We know this might be a significant adjustment for Travis, but we want to emphasize that both of us are committed to providing unwavering love and support during this time. We're working together to prioritize open communication and a smooth transition. If you notice any changes in Travis’ emotional well-being or behavior during appointments, please don't hesitate to let us know. We appreciate your guidance and support in ensuring Travis feels comfortable and supported throughout this process.

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
