Your Direction

Your Direction is a five-session course that welcomes teenagers and young adults into small groups of people who are also navigating their parentsā€™ separation or divorce. Together we explore all the challenges you typically face and show you some tools that might help.

We have consolidated the lived experiences from other young people as well as expertise from professional counsellors and parenting specialists to create a course that is stuffed with practical tips that will help you navigate your parentsā€™ separation or divorce so you can move forward with your life.

  • Each session includes videos from young people who have successfully navigated difficult times at home including parentsā€™ separating and key topics. In small groups, thereā€™s an opportunity to discuss the talk. You can share as much or as little as you like about how your personal situation relates to the topic. Your Direction is a non-judgemental safe space where you can speak to others who have or are facing similar situations. We end each session with a personal story. Youā€™ll hear from other young people explaining what happened to them when their parents split up and what helped them. When you sign up for the Your Direction workshop youā€™ll be sent a free copy of our ā€˜Travel Guideā€™ which includes an overview of what we will be covering as well as journal pages you can use to keep track of your progress.

  • ā€œI feel empowered to live my own life and feel that my parentā€™s divorce is an event and not a defining feature of my life. I also feel equipped to set boundaries and express my feelings comfortably.ā€

    ā€œThe best thing about Your Direction was being able to share difficult situations and past experiences in a safe space with people who are willing to listen and not judge.ā€

    ā€œI found this course very inviting and easy to jump into.ā€

    ā€œI learned how to deal with issues and how to see the silver lining of a problemā€
