Working with Children of Divorce

This evidenced –based video-based program is designed for professionals working with children of Divorced and Separated parents. Divorces are not all the same, nor are children’s reaction to divorce the same. The program teaches strategies that will help these children learn tools and approaches to dealing with their own reaction to the change in the family structure. The Leaders Guide gives step-by-step instructions on when to show video and when to stop for discussion and practices.

Parents  in Recovery

The Parents in Recovery module was designed to address the needs and concerns of parents in substance abuse treatment programs. The program provides materials and instructions for leading a workshop that focuses on concepts important for parenting effectiveness such as communication skills, guidance techniques, and positive discipline strategies. The emphasis is on building skills, providing support, and helping parents understand the needs and abilities of children during different stages of development.

As we experience a growing number of Grandparents raising their children’s children in our state, it is essential that we have a healthy and supportive conversation around this issue. This program is designed to help grandparents define their roles, address issues of discipline, building healthy relationships, setting boundaries, positive discipline and the role of the biological parent as well as legal elements.
