In six sessions the following topics are covered: initial and ongoing impact of  our parent’s divorce, dealing with triggers, bitterness, grieving, anger , forgiveness, and dealing with holidays, special occasions and events, and other situations that can be difficult for ACD’s

The ACD seminar has three goals:

2. Teach constructive steps to deal with these issues in the short and long term.

This is not a seminar about placing blame, a bash our parents, pointing fingers or dealing with the theology or doctrines of divorce.
