Parenting when Separated programme

18th Jan 2021

Parenting when separated can be difficult, and how it is managed has a significant impact on children.  This FREE 6 week course does not propose to find magic answers but aims to help parents to gain the support of other parents and to find 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.

Topics include:

  • Solving co-parenting problems in a positive way that focus on the needs of children.
  • 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 children and with your children's other parent.

Who should attend

The course is open to parents from all backgrounds and all walks of life that are going through or have gone through a separation or divorce. They are designed to be mixed and suitable for mothers and fathers of children of all ages. Parents can attend the group if their child/children are either living with them or their other parent. A parent can attend on their own, should the other parent of their child wish to participate we can link them into a future course. We will meet all parents for an individual introductory meeting (online) prior to the group starting.

Course details

The course consists of six two hour group sessions which will be facilitated by Barnardos staff.
