My interest in adolescent development led me to create and implement a 12 - session Parents of Teens program (through Victoria Mental Health) with the hope of helping
families weather this transition period with greater awareness, effectiveness, and patience.
The American Association for Marriage and
Family Therapy (AAMFT) notes, «While great diversity exists in children's adjustment to divorce, and a majority of children
weather the
transition and become competent adults, up to a quarter of children whose parents divorce experience ongoing emotional and behavior difficulties.»
