Parent Programme - Supporting Your Child Following Separation & Divorce

Heather from Warkworth

When major change or loss occurs in families, parents’ concerns are often framed around important questions such as:

When major change or loss occurs in families, parents’ concerns are often framed around important questions such as:
• How do I talk with my child about what’s happened?
• What kind of reaction might I expect from my child?

• What can I do to support my child?
• Does it matter if my child sees me upset?
• How will I know what my child wants or needs?

The Seasons for Growth Parent Programme has been developed to help answer some of these questions. It provides an opportunity for parents to better understand the experience of separation and divorce from a child's perspective. The program draws on evidence about what children experience and need to help them transition well through family change.
Facilitated by trained Seasons for Growth Companions, the distinctive child-centred approach provides emotional space and a non-judgmental environment for parents to share, discuss and learn ideas and strategies to support their children.
Seasons for Growth Parent Programme is a small group programme for 5-10 parents.
It will be held as a one-day workshop for parents/caregivers.
Date: Friday, June 9th
Venue: Warkworth
Time: 9 am – 4 pm
Cost: $20.00
Limited spaces. Registration is essential.
For more information and bookings please email Heather Free at seasonswarkworthwellsford@gmail.com
