Our Approach


To help parents do well for themselves and their children, we emphasize three things in all our work:

  • Children’s needs
  • Parents’ preparation
  • Professionals’ cooperation

Children’s needs must be at the center of what family cases are about, both because children must live in whatever world adults create for them and also because serving children’s needs virtually guarantees that the needs of parents and other family members will also be served.

Parents’ preparation (including important website and intake work) is vital to overcome the widespread social myth that separation and divorce are supposed to be about combat.

Professionals’ cooperation in problem-solving is an essential model to parents for their future interaction.
