DIVORCE SUPPORT GROUPS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Our children's support groups provide a safe place for kids to explore their feelings and learn coping mechanisms with kids who are in a situation similar to their own. (Click here to view our video.) There are groups for ages 6-8, 9-11, 12-14 and 15-18. Each group participates in activities that are appropriate for their age. Sessions are scheduled one afternoon each week for six weeks, with one exception: Group IV for adolescents age 15-18 runs for four weeks and provides participants with the background for co-facilitating groups for younger children if they wish to do so. View the Divorce Support Groups for Children and Adolescents Schedule.

Children and adolescents may also benefit from going to our Kids Corner.

"Thank you so much for all that you've done for Trevor. He's my happy little boy again and I feel I owe a lot of it to you and this program."

"The group was very helpful. I really saw a difference in my child being able to express his feelings."
