Parenting Through Divorce

Parenting Through Divorce

IRIS Media Inc. and Laura Backen Jones, Ph.D.

This program is offered free from IRIS Media.

Parenting Through Divorce is a "resilience resource" designed to strengthen and sustain family processes during divorce. This program provides engaging, accessible and flexible online learning that will increase parents' knowledge and awareness of divorce-related factors that affect children.

In this three-module program, parents learn specific skills to:

  • manage and reduce stress.
  • manage and reduce conflict with their co-parent.
  • rebuild their families.
  • nurture their children during the transition.

In each session, parents:

  • watch a short, realistic video that shows ineffective responses to common challenges and then models effective responses.
  • are guided through a series of interactive learning activities based on the video models. Activities help parents master practical skills that are immediately useful.
  • use self-assessments, journaling and structured home practice to adapt and personalize their new skills.
