The goal of the seminar is to give parents information which will help them support their children's emotional well-being during and after the transition of divorce. Seminar Leaders Seminars are led by psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and counselors with extensive experience in divorce, mediation, and child counseling. The Children of Divorce Seminar lasts three and one half hours with videos, and handouts to supplement the leaders' presentations. Each participant receives a Parent Handbook to take home with them. Warning signs of problems in children that indicate professional assessment may be needed.
Seminars begin on time.
Participants are encouraged to arrive fifteen minutes early to sign in, register, and obtain materials. A certificate of attendance will be provided upon seminar completion. If seminar is required by the court, your attendance will be promptly reported to the judge and court clerk. The fee may be waived in cases of extreme financial hardship.
