It is suitable for children who are aged 7 – 12 years old; are adjusting to some of the difficulties of separation; have been told or will shortly be told of their parents’ separation or who have been impacted by parental conflict. Owl Kids can be delivered in a group format, sibling groups and for individual children.
Children have the opportunity to;
- explore grief and loss experienced in response to family separation
- identify safe coping strategies for their own self-care
- process their experiences of living in two houses
- identify the differences between child and adult responsibilities and acknowledge the rights of being a child
- celebrate their learnings and progress throughout the program.
A parent's Intake session is scheduled following registration before enrolment can be finalised. The session helps parents to understand what Owl Kids is about, what the children might be bringing home, and how each parent can support them. Before children can enrol in the program and attend a separate intake session written parental consent is required from both parents.
We will email both parents with the parental consent forms on completion of registration, if you are registering for your child we encourage you to talk with your co-parent about the program. We offer both parents the opportunity to complete an introductory Intake session to understand what Owl Kids is about, what the children might be bringing home, and how each parent can support them.
More information can be provided during the Intake session.
