Denton Family Resource Center
For Kids' Sake
Divorce is
a painful and confusing experience for all children.
Even the most loving and caring parents find it
difficult to focus on their children's needs during such
a traumatic time -- and they seldom have the necessary
skills to help their children with the resulting change
and loss.
As an educational model, For Kids' Sake
does not deal with personal or legal issues, nor is it
intended to be a substitute for counsel. The
overwhelming majority of parents who have participated
in For Kids' Sake feel it is a very
supportive and worthwhile experience.
Who may
attend? Any interested person or professional is
invited. Parents involved in a divorce, motion to
modify, or other suits involving the parent/child
relationship may be required by the court to attend.
When and where are the seminars held?
Seminars are held at LaGrone Advanced Technology Complex, Denton, TX 76209 from 6-10 pm. For seminar dates check www.familyresource-nt.org or call 940-566-1800.
Who facilitates the seminars? Professional
parent educators lead the sessions. Generally a male and
female co-facilitate.
What is the cost? Fees are $40 per person,
payable in advance by money order only. Fees may be
waived by the courts for individuals unable to pay.
What
information is covered? For Kids' Sake focuses
on issues such as understanding the effects of divorce
on children, gaining insight into children's perceptions
of divorce, talking to children about family changes,
how to avoid placing children in the middle of parental
issues, and maintaining a meaningful and loving
relationship with children.

“This program is
excellent. I thank God I came to this class. All the things that my wife
and I would argue about were petty compared to the well being and normal
growth of our children.”
— For Kids’ Sake parent
