Separation and divorce counseling
Separation and divorce often present parents with the major task of coping well with this completely new life situation in the interests and for the benefit of their children.
Parents receive support in working out arrangements for the important concerns of their children during this often very tense time and thus have the opportunity to counteract an escalation of the situation at an early stage. Parents also have the opportunity to find out how their child is doing in the current separation situation, as children can be involved in the counseling process.
