Parenting Through Separation and Divorce Virtual Workshop – Fall 2023

Events, General, News, Parenting, UCCF, Workshops

The University Center for the Child and Family (UCCF) offers free Parenting Through Separation and Divorce virtual workshops each month.

Separation or divorce is difficult to handle in general — when children are in the mix, it becomes that much more complex. Many parents are concerned about the well-being of their children during this time of change. This University Center for the Child and Family workshop delivers practical parenting advice in a collaborative, caring environment for those going through change. We help parents understand their children’s needs during the transition and offer specific suggestions for creating the most beneficial post-divorce parenting relationships.

The link to access the online workshop is provided to participants after registration. All upcoming sessions are scheduled for 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Tuesdays via Zoom.
