Parenting Through Separation

Parenting through Separation is a free information programme that helps you work out what’s best for your children when you’re separating. The earlier in your separation you can get to a programme the better for you and your children. You can attend Parenting through Separation even if you are just thinking of separating, or if you have been separated for some time – it’s all about making things better for the children.

Parenting Through Separation is focused on providing practical advice and information to keep things as stress-free as possible for your children and to help you work out what parenting arrangements will work if or when you separate.

We cover topics such as:

• how separation affects children
• what children need during separation
• keeping children away from conflict
• talking with children about separation
• talking with ex-partners about arrangements for the children
• how to make a parenting plan
• how the Family Court works.
  
  

Each programme is made up of two sessions lasting approximately two hours and is run in a small group setting. We have programmes running at a range of times and locations to suit you.
