Parenting classes educate parents about child development and reasonable expectations regarding their children. They also provide access to local resources and to other parents for encouragement and support.

Parenting facilitators also help parents work out disagreements and minimize conflict. However, they do not keep information confidential. In addition to reducing conflict, they also review protective orders, social studies and other pertinent records. They can also coordinate with other professionals, such as mental health, healthcare, social services, extended family or other individuals, as needed.

Custody evaluation enables courts, parents and attorneys to receive objective information and recommendations. An evaluator interviews the parents, children and other individuals living in the home.

This type of therapy can be helpful when parental alienation, estrangement or other inappropriate influences have resulted in a child not wanting to have contact with one of the parents.

As a result of divorce, children sometimes experience depression, academic difficulties and behavioral problems. Therapy can help them manage their emotions and improve their behavior and skills.
