Family Matters
The Family Matters group series helps children ages 6-17 address feelings they have when their parents are going through separation or divorce. Children learn coping skills that assist them in expressing their feelings through drawing, writing, and talking with other children. Family Matters group materials are delivered in age appropriate groups.
Family Matters strives to help children
- Recognize and work through painful feelings
