Families going through separation can experience increased isolation and conflict.  With our Parenting When Separated Programme, you can help parents to personally cope, and to co-parent effectively, to ensure their children cope and thrive.

This programme is practical, solution-focused and draws on parents strengths. It is suitable for professionals including therapists, teachers and social workers to teach parents who are preparing for, going through or have gone through a separation or divorce. It is flexible and can be delivered over 6-12 weeks in small groups or with individuals.

By training as a facilitator of this programme, you will learn how to support parents to:

• Solve co-parenting problems in a positive way which focuses on the needs of their children
• Create practical arrangements for children that minimise stress and conflict
• Improve communication with their children and with their children’s other parent
• Cope with the emotional impact of separation and learn stress management techniques
• Help their children cope emotionally with the separation 
• Deal with the challenges of lone parenting or being a ‘live away’
