| Families dealing with Divorce & Separation |
“I’m proud to announce that I now feel much more confident being a parent… a democratic parent.” Father’s reflection on his experience in the Cooperative Co-Parenting Class.
Feelings of loss, grief, guilt and anger are normal and can be expected when relationships end. During a parental separation or divorce, children often need reassurance that they can continue to have a positive relationship with both parents. Cope Family Center helps families move through this difficult transition by providing tools to encourage discussion and interaction with mutual respect and understanding.
Whether action is court ordered, mutually agreed upon by both parents in mediation, or voluntarily initiated by one or both parents, Cope Family Center’s services help enhance the health and well-being of children. We can work directly with the Court to provide mutual assessment, information, and referral services for families.
