Kids First Center – www.kidsfirstcenter.org Separation and divorce. As painful as it is for parents, it’s the kids who may pay the highest price – the hurt can last a lifetime. But it doesn’t have to be that way and that’s where the Kids First Center comes in. Providing practical information and support, our programs include: Classes and groups for parents to learn how to put the needs of their children first while dealing with the legal and financial pressures of divorce and separation. Support groups for children and adolescents so that they have a place to talk about their feelings and learn how to cope with the many changes taking place. Workshops and conferences for professionals – attorneys, mental health professionals and court officials – to share insights into the impact of separation and divorce on children. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to learn more about the Kids First Center. We’ve written a book! www.youtube.com
