Parenting After Separation is a series of group workshops to support parents and carers through the process of family separation.
Our trained facilitators will support you with practical strategies to reduce conflict, build positive co-parenting relationships while strengthening your wellbeing.
The sessions are not sequential. You can choose to attend any or all sessions.
Parents and carers will attend separately from their former partner.
Please note, these workshops are delivered both face-to-face and online and only available for those living in Central Australia, up to and including Katherine.
Separating can be challenging but with the right support, positive outcomes are possible for both parents and children.
