Separation can be one of the most traumatic challenges that adults and children face.
Getting the right help, especially in the early days, can make a huge difference in the outcome for everyone.
When a couple separate, if they have children together or are in a blended family, the only thing that changes is they are a couple no longer. In the eyes of the children, you are still a family, and the needs of the children remain the same.
Your family has changed shape.
Early intervention helps you to understand what is going on for you, your soon to be ex- partner and your children. It can give you information, coping strategies and help with transitioning from parents to co-parents.
First Aid First Steps for parents workshop, a two and a half hour, on-line workshop, offers parents, caregivers, extended family the opportunity to learn about what’s happening and what is to come. Help with understanding what your children need now, and in the future, and adjusting to living with parents in two homes.
