Keeping Children Out of the Middle
The 10 hour course is designed to education and familiarize parents with the short term and long term effects exposing kids to parential conflict, in a divorce or out of the home parent setting, has on their children. The course focuses on assisting both parents to identify areas and issues of conflict in their relationship with the other parent which their children are being exposed to, and to develop new stategies of addressing and resolving these issues and conflicts without adversely affecting their children.
The course meets two hours a week for five weeks with each parent attending two individual parent sessions and both parents attending one joint parent session. A certificate of completion will be given at the conclusion of the class to show the court you have attended. The course textbook is included in the price of the class. Cost: $59
