Parenting is a tough job, even when things are going well. Parenting becomes even harder if you are going through a separation or divorce and are fearful about the future. At a time when you children need you the most, it can be difficult to know what they need and how to help.

Mediation Services can refer parents to courses designed to help them learn to work together to make parenting decisions while living apart:
  • Parenting After Separation is a free, six-hour workshop offered jointly by Alberta Justice and the Court of Queen's Bench at various locations throughout the province. It is designed to help parents understand how separation or divorce affects them and their children. It offers suggestions about how to make positive parenting choices while living apart.

  • Focus on Communication in Separation is a six-hour, skill based course offered at no charge to separated or divorced parents of young children at various locations throughout the province. Through this course, participants will learn new skills and techniques for communicating with the other parent, how to handle anger and will gain practice in resolving conflicts. (Parents do not register in this course together.)
