Positive Parenting from Two Homes

The Positive Parenting from Two Homes (Children's program) is a program that is offered to schools and provides an opportunity for children to talk to other children experiencing the impact of parental conflict and transitions from one home to another as a result of parental separation. This program is available to our school if enough interest exists. This cost-free children's program is presented over four or five sessions (one hour in duration during school time) by trained facilitators. Age-related activities and discussions will be provided along with children having the chance to talk to other children their own age that are going through similar situations. The program is not counselling, but an opportunity for children to share their experiences and to hear helpful information with the guidance of trained facilitators. The age group/grade level for this program will be determined from parental response in that it will be offered where the most interest is shown. Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact Kathy if you have any questions about this program and/or to put your child's name forward to be considered for this program. Please recognize that this program cannot be offered if there is not enough interest shown and/or if a large amount of interest is shown, not all children will be able to be accommodated in this program. Please contact Kathy Burt as soon as possible (klburt@edu.pe.ca or 569-0550 ext.225) if you would like to have your child considered for this program.
