Realigning your relationship and moving towards more business-like communication with your ex-partner is an important step in rebuilding your own life after separation. Inevitably, your well-being and ability to parent your children in this new phase of life will be affected by your own thoughts, behaviours, and feelings at any given time. This workshop will provide you with practical skills while helping you to better respond to conflicts that will arise with your ex-partner. You will learn how to transform anger into constructive action.
These activity-based children's groups help children coping with parental separation or divorce to develop strategies to ‘stay afloat’ during a difficult time. These three-week groups have been developed to meet the specific needs of children at different stages of development and three groups are offered for children ages 6-8 years, 9-12 years and adolescents.
