FROM THE HEART         NEWS FROM KIDS FIRST
January 2013 

Greetings to our friends and supporters,      

Kids First will be ringing in the 2013 New Year by starting up a new round of our after school Separation & Divorce Support Groups for Children & Adolescents. There is still some space available in these groups, so please get in touch with us soon to get your child enrolled. These groups offer a much needed neutral setting for kids of all ages to spend structured time with peers who are going through similar family upheaval.

 

We will also be offering a free evening workshop in January for parents and professionals, or anyone else who might benefit from a little "Forgiveness and Letting Go of the Past." Please join us and our presenter, Tricia Weyand, LCPC, for this very thoughtful presentation.


Warmest regards,

Peg Libby

Executive Director

"SESAME STREET" DIVORCE:  Show Tackles Sensitive Subject 

Sesame_Street_divorceAs most longtime fans of "Sesame Street" know, the showrunners aren't afraid to sometimes take on big, sensitive subjects in order to teach children about the things most of us have to go through at one time or another. Topics ranging from natural disasters to the death of a loved one have been broached, but, surprisingly, it's taken the show this long to talk about divorce.
