Separation and Divorce Effective Parenting Counselling

Being a parent is difficult even when both parents are together and getting along . After a separation or divorce, parenting comes with a whole new set of challenges that some families need help navigating to ensure they are acting in the best interest of the child.

The key feature of co-parenting relationships is that they focus on what's best for the children. There are many kinds of co-parenting relationships. The nature of your co-parenting relationship will depend on many factors, including how well you and the other parent get along.

A parenting arrangement is a plan for the care of your children after you separate or divorce. This includes arrangements about where the children will live, where they will go to school, their religious education (if any), their participation in cultural activities, their medical care, their after-school activities, and so on. The therapists at Viewpoint can help your family to create a parenting arrangement in a safe and supportive environment. We will also help you support your child and the strong emotions they will be experiencing during this time.
