Free information sessions to help families to adjust to the challenges following family separation are being offered by the province of British Columbia. Parents are invited to attend a three-hour workshop led by facilitators who are experienced in helping families resolve conflicts.
Topics covered in the workshops include:
- the impact of separation on you and your children
- strategies to help families adjust to the changes
- the new child support guidelines
- family dispute resolution options including conciliation, mediation, counselling and the court process
- effective ways to communicate and problem solve to build a positive parenting arrangement
It is encouraged, but not necessary, for both parents. You and your former partner will be scheduled to attend at different times. Current partners will also be scheduled at different times.
The program provides information only. It does not provide legal advice.
When is the program offered? Workshops on Wednesdays only 6pm - 9pm or 9:30am - 12:30pm (depending on the schedule, not offered every Wednesday).
All participants are required to register for the workshop at least two days in advance.
