Divorce class…for kids?
Oct 14th, 2009 by Adrienne Keith
Here in the Puget Sound area, many of the local counties require that parents in family law cases take a class to help them see things from the perspective
of a child in the process, with the goal being that parents will know what to do to help their family successfully navigate the transition they’re going through.
Utah courts have put an interesting spin on this idea: Utah State Courts are now offering a free class for kids ages 9-12 whose parents have filed for divorce or are already divorce. Taught by a mental health professional, the goal for the class is to help children communicate with their parents. Classes are currently being offered on Saturdays and Mondays, and the Utah State Court website has more information–and a brochure!–here.
