Kids with Two Homes sessions:

Growing up with parents who live in separate homes can bring a lot of changes and mixed emoitons. Kids may feel confused, frustrated, caught in the middle, or unsure how to talk about they are experiencing. This group provides a safe and supportive space where youth can connect with others who understand what it's like to have parents who are divorced or separated.

In this group, participants will build skills to help them navigate the challenges that can come with living in two homes. Through discussion, activities, and skill-building exercises, youth will learn healthy ways to express feelings, manage stress, communicate their needs, and cope with difficult situations between parents. The group also helps normalize their experiences by connecting with peers who are going through similar family changes. Our goal is to help participants feel supported, strengthen their confidence, and develop tools that help them thrive both at home in other areas of life.

The program utilizes evidence-based modalities, including:

• Cogntivie Behavioral Therapy (CBT)- to improve problem-solving and thought patterns
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)- coping skills in interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness
• Family Systems Therapy- to enhance understanding of family dynamics
• Parenting Skills Teaching- to support effective and consistent parenting practices
• Trauma-Informed Approaches- when children or parents have experienced trauma.
