Overcome the challenges of separation with Family Life

Separation can be a traumatic experience, especially if there is an ongoing conflict. Managing the emotional challenges that arise can be draining and can have long-term effects on you and your family.

To help you overcome the many issues that arise with separation, Family Life offers several support services. Whether you’re struggling with co-parenting arrangements or need counselling support following a separation, we can help.

Separation affects us all

Separation can have a major impact on all members of your family. Understanding how it affects you and your child is the first step to coping. Family Life’s separation services can help if:

• You’re struggling with co-parenting
• Your children need help managing their emotions
• You’re unable to communicate with your former partner
• You’re in need of extra parenting information

While most of our services are open to everyone, to ensure they best fit your situation, we may need to conduct an assessment. Take a look at the services available below and follow the links to find out more.

Here is a video version of the children’s book I Think Of You, which discusses the challenges of separation.
