The Center for Divorce Education is A Non-Profit Organization Dedicated to the Following Goals:
• Educating the public, domestic relations referees and judges, and legislators on the effects of divorce and parenting plans on the emotional and social development of children,
• Distributing through publications, videos, and workshops the most promising alternatives for divorcing families; and
• Promoting effective education programs for parents and children that minimize the harmful effects of divorce.
At Our Core, We View Our Mission as Advocating for Children.
To achieve this mission and our stated goals we conduct research and identify the most effective strategies that are proven to help parents reduce their conflict while maintaining a focus on achieving their parental responsibilities. The result is a reduction in the harm caused to children while parents are going through a divorce or creating two separate homes (for never married couples).
The strategies identified by the Center for Divorce Education’s research is based on experimental designs (including randomization), and has been replicated by independent researchers internationally (producing similar results – see Research Tab for summaries).
With an emphasis on evidence-based practices the curriculum produced and disseminated by the Center has received the highest accolades from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA division, with recognition as a “model program” and listing on the National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
