Divorce is a painful and confusing experience for all children. Research indicates that the
manner in which parents handle the divorce can have a direct effect on their children’s
adjustment. For Kids’ Sake seminars are designed to help parents gain insight
into the needs of their children for both the short and long term transitions of divorce.
Even the most loving and
caring parents find it difficult to focus on their children’s needs during such
a traumatic time --and they seldom have the necessary skills to help their
children with the resulting change and loss. For Kids’ Sake puts
parents in touch with their children’s needs and provides them with the
knowledge and skills to safely nurture their children through this process.
As an educational model, For Kids’ Sake does not deal with personal or legal issues, nor
is it intended to be a substitute for counseling. The overwhelming majority of
parents who have participated in the program have felt that it was a supportive
and worthwhile experience.
