Divorce Workshop Facilitator

The Iowa Center for Childrens Justice gives children a voice in divorce and custody conflicts by providing focused legal representation and services for kids. We strive to create stability for children of divorce, lessen the effect of family conflict on children, connect families to support systems and needed resources, and make childrens voices heard.

We do this by offering education workshops to school-age children of divorcing parents to help kids understand and cope with their parents separation and divorce. The workshops give children a confidential place to talk about their feelings. The two-hour workshops are interactive using artwork, games, videos, discussions, and role play to get children comfortable and engaged in conversation. The workshops are two hours on Tuesday evenings once a month. Children are groupedby age; 6-9, 10-12, and 13-16 and placed into age appropriate settings. This is a one-time, court ordered class.
