CCDG Therapist Renfro on Nat’l Child-Centered Divorce Awareness Month

By Laura Renfro

The month of January tends to see a spike in divorce filings, so it is no coincidence that January is recognized as National Child-Centered Divorce Awareness Month, a time dedicated to alerting parents about the effects of divorce on children – and how to prevent emotional and psychological damage to children during and after a divorce.

Part of your Collaborative Divorce team includes a mental health coach. We are licensed by the CT Department of Public Health and have extensive experience and education working with families and children during and after the divorce process. We are highly trained to listen carefully to everything you have to share about your children and work with you and your partner about anything and everything that is important to you. In Collaborative Divorce, we can create a weekly access schedule, holiday schedule and parenting plan that is custom fit for your children and family, just like a favorite sweatshirt or favorite pair of jeans The individual needs of your children come first and we have the experience needed to address all of the issues as a whole, not just a part of the whole.

Additionally, we provide a private, safe place where you can learn to improve communication, understand how to co-parent well together and resolve issues that traditional litigation attorneys do not address. We teach you things you need to know for the future success of your relationship with one another and support you carefully every step of the way.
