Program Helps Divorced Parents Put Children First

Jennifer Viemont, President of Deliberate Living, is now offering Co-Parent Coaching for divorced and divorcing parents.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) March 10, 2005 -- Jennifer Viemont, President of Deliberate Living, is now offering Co-Parent Coaching for divorced and divorcing parents. According to the United States Census Bureau, an average of one million children are involved in new divorces each year. As a result, 20 million children under 18 years of age are currently living with just one parent. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Life Coach, Viemont has developed coaching programs to meet the needs of the children in these stressful circumstances.

Co-Parent Coaching assists parents in creating situations that will reduce the long lasting and damaging impact that divorce can have on the lives of their children. It helps children to deal with the painful divorce experience, which has been proven to have a long-lasting and damaging impact on their young lives. Viemont explained, Divorce is a traumatic life event for parents and children -- if not dealt with early, the damage is often irreparable. And while I have found that most parents want what is best for their children, those good intentions often get lost in their hurt feelings and resentment." Viemont states that deliberate planning and a collaborative effort on the part of parents is critical, since a healthy post divorce situation doesnt happen on its own.

Co-Parent Coaching helps participants create and implement action plans that will build a healthy environment for their children -- an environment that is conducive to healthy functioning. Both parents participate in individual and joint sessions to develop a co-parenting plan. After a plan is agreed upon, coaching continues through the implementation of the plan and helps identify and remove obstacles that arise. Through the process, the best interest of the children remains a priority for both parents.

Viemont also offers Individual Divorce Coaching, an alternative for individuals in situations where working together isnt an option. This type of coaching seeks to improve parenting skills, deal with ex-spousal issues, and implement goal setting -- all of which ultimately build self-confidence and self-esteem.

Viemonts services are not limited by geography. All coaching sessions for Individual Divorce Coaching and Co-parent Coaching are conducted over the phone, enabling her to accept clients nationwide.
