Parents and children may attend Family Workshop voluntarily or if court ordered. Unless court ordered to attend together, parents are not required to attend in the same month, but it is highly recommended. It is strongly recommended that children ages 5-17 attend. Parents are required to attend all four sessions of the same Family Workshop in its entirety to receive a Certificate of Completion. Attendance and participation are monitored during the program.

What families say

“During this program, I learned that it's not my fault that my parents got divorced. I also learned how to share my feelings about it and to handle my feelings better. And the best part . . . my parents are nicer to each other and they're getting along so much better now. This program really worked!” — 12 year old Family Workshop graduate

“The Family Workshop was very insightful. It was enjoyable to share and listen to other parents and learn from one another. My take away from this program is that it is critical to continue to show our children how to cope, adapt, lead, love and be compassionate towards one another, as they are future parents!” — Parent, Family Workshop

“Thanks to this program, I told my mom and dad that I really wanted them to pay attention to me. They use to give all their attention to their cell phones. Now, they pay attention to me! We're playing games and watching movies. I'm so happy they are paying attention to me!” — 8 year old Family Workshop graduate
