Summary of Topics Covered:

Parenting when separated can be challenging and confusing. Drawing on international long-term evidence, the Parents Plus ‘Parenting when Separated’ Programme is a seven-week course that highlights practical steps parents can take to help their children cope and thrive, as well as coping successfully themselves.

Topics include:
• Solving co-parenting problems in a positive way that focuses 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 their children and with their children’s other parent.

The ‘Parenting When Separated’ course does not propose to find magic answers but hopes to help parents gain the support of other parents who may have similar experiences and find down-to-earth 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.
