"Parenting Together Apart" Workshop for Divorced, Divorcing Couples
Divorced and divorcing couples who share the concern for their children as they process divorce can join to maintain important relationships
Divorce doesn’t end a relationship; it just changes it. Birthdays, holidays, graduations, family events, job losses, moves, new relationships continue to be events that the original family must navigate.
The Divorce Center is presenting a 4-hour interactive workshop designed for a limited number of couples who are going through this transitional event. Couples should only attend if they wish to enhance their abilities (as a divorcing couple) to do the best parenting job possible for their children.
The workshop will include small group discussions as well as interactive exercises in order to allow participants to share and benefit from each other.
