About the curriculum:
* Parents Forever encourages parents to work out agreements on contentious issues and avoid putting their children in the position of having to make decisions that seem to favor one parent over the other.
* Parents Forever is in response to Minnesota legislation requiring educational programs for divorcing parents, and it meets the Minnesota Supreme Court’s educational criteria. The curriculum has been specially designed and tested. It is best taught by a collaboration of local community partners, such as governmental and private social service providers, lawyers and parent educators.
* Parents Forever shows how to enlist a full spectrum of local community partners to help see families through divorce. This University of Minnesota Extension Service curriculum includes training on how to form a community collaboration to teach Parents Forever as well as training for those presenting each component of the curriculum. |
