YourDecision and its lmpactonYourChildren
The decision to separate and/or to divorce usually follows much thought and
careful consideration. This program is designed to help you and your children
work through difficult transitions related to your divorce and related changes in
your family structure and circumstances. Like any other life-changing event,
divorce can result in emotional growth, or can be a negative experience leaving
lasting issues. While you may not have chosen this experience for yourself and
your children, you do have a ciioice in the way you handle it. Family separation
can be very difficult, but you and your children can move forward in healthy and
positive manner.
An Important Message from the Courts
"All children are impacted by their parents' divorce or family separation. While
some adjust more quickly than others, many suffer the emotional fallout and
carry the hurt into their own adult years and relationships. The Helping Children
Cope with Family Separation program is intended to enable you, the parents,
to play an active role in lessening the negative effects and/or trauma imposed
upon your children as a consequence of your separation. Therefore, attendance
is mandatory, and a necessary step in scheduling your domestic hearings
and in determining your ongoing status in relation to your children."

WhyThis Is So Important
As many as fifty percent of all marriages are presently ending in divorce. Many or these
couples have one or more children who must cope with the breakup of their home.
Approximately one-third of divorced parents remain bitter and conflicted several years
following their divorce. Unfortunately, much of this bitterness'and emorional pain is often
played out in the life and experiences of the children. Other families experience a
significant change in visitation, custody, or family structure that impacts the daily lives or
their children. The goal of Helping Children Cope with Family Separation is to help
parents understand that the best gift they can give their children - and themselves - is
co-parenting their children in a positive, healthy manner.
Helping Children Cope with Family Separation is, in part, based on the
Helping Children Cope with Divorce program developed by Beech Acres, Inc.,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
