“Talking with your Kids” is a free 2½ hour workshop that helps you as a separated parent to talk with your kids about difficult issues that arise such as: parental conflict, carrying messages, financial issues, taking sides, their understanding of your separation, relationships and loyalty, and dealing with step-parents.

The workshop will assist you to:

You can talk to other parents in similar situations and you’ll also get a workbook to take away with examples of other questions, ideas and tips.
