Organizations Filed Purposes:
We promote, support and secure the well-being of children experiencing family separation. We heal families & change relationships in positive ways so children experiencing separation, divorce or military transitions are happier.
Our Family Workshop is a court approved co-parenting program for the whole family. Children learn how to share their thoughts and feelings about their family situations, that they are not alone and that their parents' divorce is not their fault, thus freeing them up from self-blame. Parents gain insight into their words, actions and behaviors and learn how to accept the thoughts and feelings of their children without judging, minimizing or invalidating them. Javier, age 16 shared, "This program was helpful. My parents are nicer now and I notice when they?re using the techniques they're learning. I learned things too. I'm sharing my feelings more and I really thought my parents got divorced because of me and now I know that it wasn't my fault so I am feeling so much better about everything." Continue the Conversation Classes are offered as an advanced 2-hour refresher class for Family Workshop parent graduates and their new partners.
In our Counseling Program, we are providing a safe place for children ages 5-17 to talk about their family situation and to learn new coping and communication skills, realize that their family situation of separation is not their fault and find new ways to express their feelings. We are helping children focus in school, engage in appropriate social interactions with others and are providing tools that promote resiliency and increase self-esteem. When 13 year old Michael started counseling, his goal was to have a relationship with his dad and he wished that his dad would pick him up from school. Michael was dedicated to his goal. After 9 months of counseling, Michael proclaimed, ?Guess who is picking me up from school today? My dad!?
