Focus on the Kids is mandated for any parents in the process of divorce or unmarried parents who have family case proceedings in the McHenry County Family Court involving children. In addition, any adult who is interested in the program may register. The program is designed to minimize conflicts and promote positive communication between parents while providing insight on the impact of divorce/parent separation on children. Parents will learn to set aside their differences to work more collaboratively with the other parent while focusing on supporting and identifying the needs of their child(ren). Parents are reminded that they remain in each other’s lives for as long as they have a child(ren) together and are encouraged to continue using these skills long after divorce or custody litigation has ended.
