How are parents involved?
A parent's information session runs at the same time as the first group session. 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. An alternate session offers the other parent the opportunity to attend at a different time in the same week.The final session is a presentation for the parents to attend, showcasing the children's progress and work through the program.
Additional support
Parents who are wanting additional support can receive sessions with our Post Separation Case Managers. These sessions provide an opportunity for parents to:
- ask questions about the program material
- discuss how to apply strategies to support their children as they adjust to family changes during or after the group
- receive support to manage issues of parental communication and/or conflict.
