Divorce Recovery
& Family Resilience
Programs

Who it’s for

Children and teens are experiencing the transition to a two-home family due to separation or divorce. Appropriate for:

• Kids showing anxiety, sadness, anger, school or sleep disruptions

• Siblings with different coping styles

• Parents seeking tools to reduce conflict spillover and create consistent routines across homes

What to expect

• Individual child sessions (play- and talk-based): Emotion identification, coping skills, problem-solving, and perspective-taking, using age-appropriate methods (games, stories, role-play, CBT/ACT-informed tools).

• Parent guidance (parallel, not couples therapy): Brief coaching to align house rules, transitions, and communication; guidance on language to use with kids; coordination with other professionals if needed (teachers, pediatricians, attorneys, GALs).

• Two-home planning: Concrete plans for exchanges, school nights, holidays, and digital communication to give children predictability.

• Progress checkpoints: Short reviews every 3–4 sessions to refine goals and measure gains.

​

Format & duration

• Intake: 75–90 minutes (parent consult + child meet-and-greet).

• Core track: 6–8 weekly sessions; extended as needed for complex cases.

• Delivery: In-person and secure virtual options; sibling add-ons available.

• Documentation: Summaries for parents; court-facing letters only if appropriate (this is a therapeutic, not forensic, service).

​

Benefits & outcomes

• Emotional regulation: Kids learn to name feelings, self-soothe, and bounce back after tough moments.

• Behavioral stability: Fewer meltdowns, smoother hand-offs, improved sleep, and school engagement.

• Stronger communication: Scripts and routines that lower conflict and reduce triangulation.

• Resilience & confidence: Children feel safe, seen, and capable in both homes.

​

Parent role

• Attend brief coaching check-ins, practice shared routines, use the provided language guides, and update the team on changes (new schedules, legal orders, school issues).

​

When to start

• Ideal at the front end of separation, or any time new symptoms or transitions appear (moves, schedule changes, re-partnering).

​

Why families choose this program

• Child-centered and skills-based with clear milestones

• Short-term, outcome-focused care that respects legal boundaries

• Practical tools you can use immediately at home and during exchanges
