Helping children and parents grow together includes providing support to parents as their family moves through the difficult transition of divorce. Our 4 hour "Families & Divorce: Helping Children Cope" interactive workshop meets all requirements set forth by the State of Florida for parents to complete prior to a divorce being granted. This workshop offers information for divorcing and separating couples on the most effective ways parents can deal with the stress of separation, and decrease the negative impact on their children. Divorce itself does not scar a child's life…it is how parents deal with divorce that affects their children. Highly qualified, clinically degreed professionals offer the information and support every parent deserves.

We help you strengthen the family unit by focusing on:
  • Effects of divorce on children.
  • How to head off problems before they start.
  • What to expect from your children during divorce.
  • How to co-parent effectively.
  • Normal feelings of grief.
  • Skills that will help the family cope with loss, stress and change.
  • Effective skills for communicating with your children.
  • Step-parenting challenges.

BETA Center cares deeply about the future of our children. When parents cope better, so do children. The long-term negative effects of divorce can be minimized by how parents deal with divorce. "Families & Divorce: Helping Children Cope" is an interactive program designed to help parents understand the needs of their children during the transition of divorce. For the past 12 years, all who take this workshop agree that they want their children to be both physically and mentally healthy during and after the divorce. BETA Center uses Certified Parent Educator to guide parents through interactive discussions, role-playing exercises and informational charts to help them sharpen their coping skills. A great workbook is included in the workshop fee. Relationships and responsibilities with the family may change, but children still have a mother and a father. Our workshop enables parents and their children to deal with the impact of divorce in a way that is helpful to all family members.
