Children's Groups
& Services
"K.I.D.D.S"
Children's Support Group
Kids
often need the same support and education as parents in adjusting to
divorce. In the K.I.D.D.S. (Kids in Different Divorce Situations) series, children participate in craft activities
and discussions designed to reduce their trauma and teach coping skills.
Groups are provided year-round when requested by parents. Two groups are
offered for children of different ages. Parents do not have to be involved
in other DVA services for children to be eligible for the K.I.D.D.S group.
The next group will be starting in
January 2008
Assessment
If services other than educational groups are required by the courts or
requested by parents, an intake session will be conducted individually
with the parties involved to give them an opportunity to develop a
relationship with the DVA staff and to express their concerns regarding
the current family situation. DVA will assist the parent in developing a
plan that helps to address the needs of their children.
