Children Cope with Divorce

Helping Your Children Cope With Divorce, Custody, and/or Visitation is a four-hour parent/caregiver training that provides information about helping children adjust to the changes associated with the divorce or separation of their parents and other family transitions.

Divorce and other family transitions can often be painful for the entire family. Children are often caught in the middle of their parents' uncoupling and, as a result, they can feel powerless, rejected, humiliated, or unloved.

This is a time when family roles are redefined. Even though they are no longer a couple, parents must find ways to continue their roles as a mother and a father to their children.

The Parent Seminar:

This parent seminar is designed to help minimize the negative impact of divorce, custody issues, or other family transitions on children.

Topics include the divorce process, emotional reactions, co-parenting strategies, and guidelines for helping children adjust.
