Divorce Recovery: Children of Divorce & Changing Families

Twice a year Divorce Recovery offers Children of Divorce and Changing Families Support Groups (CODCF). These groups assist all family members in the difficult transition through separating and/or divorce. This is an 8 week support group for children and one parent run by interns from the University of Arizona who have completed a six week Group Leader Training. Age-appropriate activities are offered to children (3-18) while the parent attends an adult group to help facilitate open communication among family members and help guide the family through the process of change. The primary goals of the group are to help parents and children establish better communication and to be able to talk more effectively about the divorce transition and the losses they are experiencing and we aim to help parents develop skills to assist in this transition. The Divorce Recovery Program continues to be offered free of charge to anyone in the community, and this time around we were able to provide dinner each week for the families. Donations are greatly appreciated.
