How Not to Drive Your Kids Crazy

Family relationships do not disappear when a marriage ends in divorce. As a parent you have to continue to communicate with your former spouse in matters of child rearing. In fact, your child’s ability to adjust to life post-divorce depends on the parents’ ability to provide ongoing love and security through agreed upon structure, limits, and predictability! This workshop gives you what you need to begin co-parenting successfully.
Changes
A Workshop for Children about Divorce
It is not uncommon for divorcing/divorced parents to believe they can provide all the information their children need about the revised family structure. In reality most children need more opportunity to ask questions and to get answers. This workshop provides an emotionally safe environment in which children may have their questions answered without worrying about their parents’ reactions. There are three age appropriate workshops for children from age 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to 18. (A Roundtable Discussion Group is also available for adult children of divorce.)

In this workshop, you will learn what divorce issues you need to consider and address for the best solutions in your particular situation. These workshops will be facilitated in a supportive, resourceful and safe environment within a group dynamic of others with similar concerns.

Learning to Stay in the Moment and Stay Balanced

The goal of mindfulness is to achieve overall wellbeing that leads to balance, stability, and ongoing joy in life. This workshop teaches skills to find your personal strategy for restoring your inner balance. The process helps you release old negative patterns of behavior and replace them with new positive life perspectives.
Anxiety or Depression
Two Workshops on Recovery
If you are living with anxiety or depression you know how difficult life can be! Both anxiety and depression drain you of the ability to cope effectively with personal and work related experiences. Stated simply, anxiety is an internal state of apprehension and uneasiness and depression is an internal state of hopelessness and helplessness. Either state prevents you from living life to the fullest. The impact of your anxiety or depression is felt not only by you but by all those in your life experience. These workshops, one focusing on anxiety and one focusing on depression, help you understand the dynamics of the problems and what you can do to successfully deal with them.
