Parental Alienation Awareness Session
Journey offers Parental Alienation Awareness Sessions to parents who are going through the separation and divorce process.
The session provides awareness about what Parental Alienation is and the potential lasting effects it can have on children and families. It does not place blame on either parent.
Sessions are done separately by each parent and can be done virtually or in person.
Support for Children
Parental Alienation Awareness Session
Support for Children
Separation and divorce can be a very challenging time for children as they don't understand what is happening and are often unintentionally placed in the middle.
Journey can help children process their feelings and emotions and help them adjust to their new family dynamics. Children often have questions such as "What will it look like?" "Will I still be able to see both parents?" "Will they stop loving me if I visit the other parent?"
Child & Teen Counselling
Counselling offers children and teens a safe space to share thoughts, express feelings and navigate challenging situations.
Counselling sessions are strength based and goal focused to support areas such as anxiety, self-regulation, healthy relationships, school success, anger management, ADHD, self-esteem development and suicidal ideation.
Parenting Support
While becoming a parent and raising a child can be one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable moments, it can also be a very challenging time for parents.
Counselling can guide and support parents through these difficult times by identifying areas of concern and providing strategies to effectively manage challenges.
