​Focus On Children

Picture
​Focus on Children is a four-hour seminar offered by Pressley Ridge to help educate parents about the needs of children who are experiencing transition as the result of a custody action. Many participants are referred by the Court System; however, any interested parent may attend.

​Focus on Children is led by two instructors with Masters degrees who are certified to teach the Transparenting materials used in the seminar.

Focus on Children is not a substitute for counseling or legal services. Advice or counsel for individual situations will not be given.

​Case specific questions cannot be answered by Pressley Ridge staff. Certificates of participation will be provided at the end of the seminar.
