Focus on Kids

A statewide program for separated, divorced or divorcing parents who experience high conflict around parenting decisions. Program works with both parents, teaching them strategies that help them communicate in a non-hostile manner, so that they can make joint parenting decisions that are in the best interests of their children. Focus on Kids is not therapy, it is a highly structured parent counseling with a large emphasis on communication.
