Helping YourCHIldREN COPE

with divorceCustody and/or Visitation

Helping your cHildrEn coPE witH divorcE and other family transitions is a painful time 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 is designed to help minimize negative impacts on children at a time when parents are naturally preoccupied with their own adjustments. recognizing that their joint roles as parents will continue to exist, the seminar helps parents begin to restructure their relationship and make appropriate plans for their children.
