#703: Divorce and Stepfamilies: Breaking Apart, Coming Together

This unique program speaks to a diverse group of middle and high school teenagers who have been impacted by divorce, including those whose parents have recently separated or are in the process of divorce, and teens in stepfamilies. Teens and counselors explore solutions to problems such as custody arrangements, visitation, and building new relationships with single parents. In another support group, high school teens mentor children in grades 4-6 who are coping with similar situations. We also meet an interracial stepfamily and see how they successfully work at coming together. Through sharing personal experience and advice on how to deal with the confusing and unpleasant emotions that often accompany divorce, this program helps teens across the country who have had similar experiences. It also provides ways friends can offer support. This highly personal, upbeat, and forward-looking collage of feelings and reflection is a welcome breath of fresh air and a terrific discussion starter. --- Booklist *DVDs are also available on over 50 other topics of critical interest to teens.
