SAINT BARNABAS INSTITUTE FOR PREVENTION OFFERS CHILDREN IN THE MIDDLE, A DIVORCE EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR PARENTS, AT YMCA IN HAZLET

Tuesday, May 12 and 19 from 6 – 8:30 pm 

Toms River, NJ - The Saint Barnabas Institute for Prevention, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Behavioral Health Network, is offering a free two-day training program for parents going through a separation or divorce called Children in the Middle on Tuesday, May 12 and 19 from 6 - 8:30 pm at the YMCA Children’s Achievement Center in Hazlet, NJ.       

Children in the Middle is the only designated divorce education program and has been nationally endorsed by judges, lawyers, mediators, psychologists and teachers.  Developed in 1992 by a clinical child psychologist/family therapist and a professor of psychology, the program was designed to benefit parents with children 3 to 15 years of age who are going through a divorce or separation. 

The program is designed for parents who are currently going through a divorce or separation and would like to learn effective strategies for parenting their children during this difficult time and assist them in creating a parenting plan to meet the needs of the entire family.  Through this program, parents will learn to think about the situations where conflict usually occurs and better navigate their options; use more effective methods to reduce their emotional reactions to situations and maintain control; and increase their effectiveness with and sensitivity to their children’s needs. 

For further information about the Children in the Middle program or to register, please call the Saint Barnabas Institute for Prevention at (732) 914-3815.  Pre-registration is required and space is limited.
