It gives you tools and strategies to create a positive new family identity. You’ll learn ways to talk to your child about what’s happening and help them cope.
The course is run in-person as a group, or online in your own time.
What you'll learn
On the Family Transitions course, you'll learn:
- specific strategies for improving personal coping skills with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, and anger
- specific strategies for reducing conflict between parents and improving communication

Who can attend
This course is for parents who have divorced or separated.
It is not a mediation programme so you should attend on your own or, if you want support, with your new partner. If your ex-partner wants to do the course, you should attend separate groups. We encourage both parents to attend where possible.
