Can family counseling help when parents are separated or divorced?

Yes. Separation and divorce can affect children and family relationships in different ways, and counseling can provide support as everyone adjusts to changing roles, routines and expectations.

If parents are separated or divorced, it is important to let Trifecta know about custody and decision-making arrangements before counseling begins. This helps determine who can consent to treatment, how parents or guardians should participate and how information can appropriately be shared.

Establishing those expectations early also helps keep counseling focused on the child’s and family’s well-being rather than placing children in the middle of parental disagreements.
