Separation and divorce counselling
Trennung und Scheidung stellen Eltern oft vor die große Aufgabe, diese völlig neue Lebenssituation gut im Interesse und zum Wohle ihrer Kinder zu meistern.
Eltern erhalten hierbei Unterstützung, Regelungen über die wichtigen Belange ihrer Kinder in dieser häufig sehr angespannten Zeit zu erarbeiten und somit die Möglichkeit, frühzeitig einer Eskalation der Situation entgegenzuwirken. Ebenso bekommen die Eltern die Gelegenheit zu erfahren, wie es ihrem Kind in der momentanen Trennungssituation geht, da Kinder am Beratungsprozess beteiligt werden können.
