Why provide support services for children of divorce?

With an attitude of “being strong” and “getting over it” toward children and families dealing with divorce, our society places value on happiness, success and health. Children of divorce may feel “different” from their peers at school, church and sports. They may also feel the pressure to not tell anyone (even in their family) how they think or feel. At KidWorks, the shared circumstance of loss and major changes in their lives frees children to explore, identify and express themselves and to heal from the trauma of divorce. Children of divorce who internalize their personal experience and do not have adequate support may experience depression, school adjustment problems, substance abuse, or other coping problems.
