This booklet and accompanying Powerpoint presentation, designed for facilitators, will enable professionals to deliver a condensed, two hour introductory information seminar based on the "Effective Co-Parenting: Putting Kids First program."

Using these materials as a guideline, professionals have a ready-made session to offer in their own community which provides information on the experiences and needs of children managing the issues of separation and divorce. Offering strategies and resources for parents to take away with them.
