Parents Apart
5 Hour Course


Divorce or separation doesn’t just affect the adults in a relationship – it can affect the way children view relationships for life. If you’re concerned about how your children will cope with the break-up of your relationship, take a crucial day aside to think about how you and your ex-partner can work together to help the children through divorce and the following years. This workshop will help you manage the practical and emotional aspects of being co-parents living apart. This is a one-day course running at locations around England.

The best time to attend is as soon as possible after the decision to break up.
