Parenting When Separated Programme
A positive and practical course for parents who are going through, or have gone through a separation or divorce.
Weekly for 6 weeks Starts: Sept 2012 Mondays 7pm-9pm
Parenting when separated can be a challenging and confusing time for parents. Our post-separation parenting course, presented in collaboration with the well-known Parents Plus parenting charity, is designed to help parents and children adjust to separation and provides a useful guide to people through the emotional and practical difficulties of separation.
This course hopes to help you:
- Solve co-parenting problems in a positive way that helps you and your child.
- Cope with the emotional impact of separation and learn stress management techniques
- Help your children cope with the impact of the separation both emotionally and practically.
- Enhance communication with your child and your child’s other parent
- Collaborate as parents when you are no longer partners
The Parenting When Separated course does not propose to find magic answers but hopes to help parents to gain the support of other parents who may have similar experiences and to find down-to-earth solutions for difficult situations. The focus of the course is positive and aims to build on your strengths as a parent and what you are already doing right.
Who should attend
The course is open to separated parents from all backgrounds. Both mothers and fathers, resident and non-resident parents are welcome to attend this course. Both parents of the same child are welcome to attend this course together if they both feel it would be suitable, but this is not essential and parents can choose to attend different groups.
Course booking
The course consists of six two-hour group sessions in our centre. To book a place please contact us as soon as possible and we will offer you a short screening meeting to explore whether the group is suitable for you. Fee €10 per session, sliding scale applies.
