tips for successful shared parentingThe Call for Unity
During a separation and divorce it is easy to forget about the young lives trapped between warring parents. Even the most amicable separations can cause trauma and upset in the shared children. However as our society learns to deal with a more common problem, so too are we learning the best ways to cope. Parents need to be supported during separation so that they can fully support their children, and we can do this together.
As part of Family Mediation Week Fegans have partnered with Wells Family Mediation to produce a ‘Unity’ video, to raise awareness of the importance of staying together as parents, even when you break up as partners. The benefits on the whole family unit are incredible.
