A group intervention programme for adolescents of divorce

Divorce has become so prevalent in our present day society, that it is regarded as one of the most sressful and complex mental health crises facing children today. As parents are often under tremendous stress during the time of divorce, they may be incapable of provding the support and guidance children need.
The purpose of this study is to present a group counselling intervention
programme to assist children of divorce and to create a supportive group
atmosphere in which children can share divorce-related feelings, clarify
common misconceptions and reduce feelings of isolation. Findings of
this study indicate that the acquisition of problem-solving communication
and anger control skills help to reduce feelings of depression and
anxiety, improve the self-concept and ultimately promote post-divorce
adjustment. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)
