Center for Divorce Education, The

Florida DCF approved in-person Children in Between Course.

Children In Between is a skills-based program that helps children and parents deal with the children’s reactions to divorce. Divorcing parents may use their children to manipulate and/or control each other around a variety of personal, social, and financial issues. These tactics increase the stress and anxiety typically experienced by children of divorce and can increase children’s risk for behavior problems, depression, delinquency, substance use, teen pregnancy, school failure and dropout, and suicide.

The course seeks to alleviate children’s problems such as:

Loss of concentration and attention
Declining grades and behavior problems at school
Withdrawal from friends
Emotional outbursts and health problems
Serious anger with one or both parents
Delinquency and substance use
