Parent separation and divorce can put a huge strain on the entire family. To help your family navigate this difficult and sometimes painful process, Hope Haven offers a parent education and stabilization course called Children First.
The course is designed to improve communication, minimize conflict and reduce litigation by providing your family with positive alternatives and practical, child-focused solutions. As a Department of Children and Families-approved provider of this course for Florida’s Fourth Judicial District, Hope Haven is also authorized to help your family and the court come up with a parenting plan that is in everyone’s best interest
Our focus is for in-person classes. But, we still have a small number of seats through Zoom with the use of live instructors. Hope Haven has obtained the approval of the Court for this temporary modification.
