Even the most caring parents find it
difficult to focus on their children’s needs during a family crisis such as
separation or divorce. Many parents simply do not have the necessary
skills to help their children with the resulting change and loss. The

their children’s needs and provides parents with the knowledge and skills to
safely nurture their children through the transition.
The
overwhelming majority of parents who have participated in this seminar feel
that it is a supportive and worthwhile experience. The four-hour seminar
provides valuable, educational information related the parent/child

insight into children’s perceptions of separation
