Over the course of the last couple of months, we have been actively adding new content to the site I Am A Child of Divorce. I Am A Child of Divorce is a site dedicated to supporting and helping children of divorce. To that end, we have developed a chat room with regularly scheduled chats and created a pilot online support group for teens.
Another aspect of the site that we’re really excited about if the resources we are developing in house to help children of divorce. These include the My Feelings Workbook and the Anger-omoter with more resources being developed all the time.
The purpose of this post though is to highlight some of the recent help articles posted I Am A Child of Divorce. These short articles have been developed to help children and teens whose parents are divorced/separated to answer common questions they might have. I Am A Child of Divorce is an extension of this ministry, and you may see fewer articles here in the short term as we seek to build a library of resources to directly help children of divorce on that site.
The following are some of those articles which may be helpful to you in ministering to children of divorce:
