Parenting After Separation Group Program

Our Parenting After Separation Group Program provides separating or separated couples with strategies to support their ability to co-parent. The group will look at ways to positively manage this life adjustment and ensure your children’s best interests are prioritised.

This group will help you to:

Understand the impact of separation on children involved
Communicate with your child to understand their experience and what they need during this time
Identify and build on current parenting strengths
Collaboratively set aspirations for successful co-parenting
