A child’s reaction to parent separation will depend on age, level of emotional development, attachment or relationship history and, most importantly, how respectful the parents are towards one another.
Meeting a child’s needs during separation requires a parent to understand the impact of each of these factors.
Parenting After Separation is a free six-hour workshop.
PAS was developed in Alberta by the Court of Queen’s Bench and Alberta Justice and is now used nationally and internationally.
The purpose of the workshop is to assist parents in understanding the process and effects of separation and to encourage parents to make positive choices about how they will continue to parent their children after separation.
The objectives of Parenting After Separation are to provide you with some tools to:
- help your children through the separation
- maintain a positive relationship with your children
- understand the emotional, financial and legal implications of divorce or separation
- assist parents in preparing a parenting plan
- promote mediation as a means of resolving disputes.
