Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to help children and caregivers effectively adapt to divorce, separation, custodial conflict, and visitation exchange issues by creating services and products that address these issues.
PARENTING EDUCATION CURRICULUM is a video/DVD-based curriculum targeting divorcing or separating parents to educate them on how to best help their children cope with the effects of family changes and conflict. Organizations can become providers of the parenting education course by purchasing a license. There are currently 21 licensed providers. The agency web site offers the class on the internet for any parent awarded the exception of using the online version of the class and not physically attending class in the classroom. The class was updated to match the 2017 Addendum to 2011. An internet class and site were created for College of Lake County (one of our licensees). The four-hour internet class was taken by 439 in Lake County.
PARENTING EDUCATION - Four-hour Children First classes are offered in Madison County on Mondays and Tuesdays (6-8pm) and in St. Clair County on Wednesdays and Thursdays (6-8pm). Each location offers a Friday class one time per month from 9:00am - 1:00pm. This scheduling allows a morning option to participants. The internet class is available anytime and accepted by permission of the parents' judge. In Madison County 712 parents attended the classes, and in St. Clair County 887 parents attended. The four- hour internet class was taken by 332 in St. Clair and Madison counties.
SUPERVISED & OVERNIGHT PARENTING TIME PROGRAMS provide designated parking and separate entrances. Both programs ensure that no contact occurs between parents during the exchange. Overnight parenting is designed to supervise the transfer of children between divorced or separated parents. This program targets high-conflict couples with a history of problems at the time of child transfer. In the Supervised Parenting Time program the receiving parent is not allowed to leave the center with the child. The visit takes place on site. All families are court-ordered into these programs. The Family Center in St. Clair County served 28 families in 2019. The Madison County Kids Corner served 94 families.
