For the Kids: Co-Parenting Workshop
This program was designed almost 20 years ago by a committee of judges, therapists and attorneys in Colorado to help parents understand and minimize the negative impact of divorce or separation on their children. As one of the initial providers, I have been facilitating this monthly program, in person, for over 17 years. The frequent and most common feedback I receive is “I wish I had known this information years ago when we first split up.” No parent wishes harm on their children but many realize, through this program, how they have unwittingly created a no-win situation for their children by placing them in the middle of the parents’ battles. Topics covered include:
- Understanding the Court process and resources available
- Impact of divorce on children at various ages and how to help them
- Communication and assertiveness skills for difficult relationships
- Parenting styles and structures after divorce/separation
- Common pitfalls of divorce
- Parental Alienation: how to recognize and deal with it
- Common Parenting Plans (by age of the children)
- The long-term effects of divorce on children
This program will continue to be available over the phone until it is successfully moved online to (this link). Please contact me to sign up.
