Parenting After Separation (PAS)
In-person Parenting After Separation
Parenting After Separation (PAS) is a free three-hour workshop that helps parents make informed decisions about their separation which consider their children’s best interests. The program is mandatory for separating parents in some BC communities.
Topics include:
- The impact of separation on you and your children
- How to help your family adjust to change
- Strategies to help your family adjust to change
- Effective ways you and your children’s other parent can communicate
- How to keep your children out of the middle of conflict
- Options for resolving family disputes, including mediation, counseling and the court process
- How the child support guidelines are applied
- Resources in the community for parents and children
Resources for the Parenting After Separation program include a Parent's Handbook, which is available in multiple languages, as well as a Facilitator's Guide.
