As long as there have been people, there have been couples.
As long as there have been couples, there have been families.
As long as there have been families, there have been families in transition.
And of course, when there are families in transition, there are often kids in the middle...
The Sad Truth
•In the United States, one million new kids become part of divorced families every year
•In Missouri, in 2001, there were almost 25,000 divorces*
•*Over 22,000 kids were part of those families in transition
How do people cope?
• Therapists
• Clergy
• Family
• Friends
• Co-workers
• Physicians
Adults have always had someone to talk to about separation and divorce:
Adults usually know what is about to happen; they often have time to prepare themselves
emotionally – kids don’t.
When parents get divorced kids feel...
Helpless
Like their lives are out of control
Kids In the Middle can help.
KITM helps kids talk about what bugs them about divorce.
We help children and families change from this...
Divorce Hurts.
