Safe Travels Through the Divide

By Kim "Tip" Frank, Ed.S., LPC

(Grades 3-8) An unwanted journey begins... When going on a long journey, important items are packed and taken along for the trip. Similarly, separation and divorce is often a long and ever changing journey for children.

"Safe Travels Through the Divide" will give you the tools and understanding needed to help make this trip as safe and comfortable as possible for children while minimizing lasting effects. By means of a comprehensive pathway system, it will help your child adjust to their new lifestyle as soon as possible. The situation is hard enough, the last thing a parent wants is for their child to feel miserable or to get hurt on this unpleasant journey.
