It
was such a rewarding experience to be associated with people doing
work to help families. It's a real thrill to see a great
professional presenter at work, and you are truly marvelous. Also,
for an hour after class yesterday I briefed a friend (going through
a divorce) on the course contents who found them wonderfully
practical. Thanks, and hope to stay in touch." "Children
in the Middle is one of the most important prevention programs I
have experienced. It has clearly shown me how profoundly
affected children are who get caught in the crossfire of parental
conflict. As an Addiction Specialist I regularly
see the effects of family experiences on the behaviors of young
people and adults. This is truly a crucial and important
topic! Mimi Lupin uses her personal experience and
professional understanding to make this training more of a passion
than just a thought process. I am grateful that I attended
this incredibly useful program training!" Mimi,
I thought that your training was excellent and that a great deal of the
information was new and needed by our attendees. I think that they
had a very productive learning experience and walked away with hands
knowledge that they could utilize immediately. Great job, your
personal commitment is very there. "My wife and I have been providing a parent education program for our local district court for about 18 years. During that time, we made modifications of our program bsed on our experiences, continuing education programs and our readings. We found the program, "Children in the Middle" and felt that this program would compliment our approach. As a result we attended Mimi Lupin's workshop on "Children in the Middle". This program was presented in a professional, personable manner. The program fully met our needs in preparing us to implement, "Children in the Middle". We highly recommend this workshop."

Children in the Middle is a video-based parent education program that makes parents aware of the most serious ways they put their children in the middle of their own conflicts during and after divorce. More importantly, parents are taught new skills to help them through this difficult transition. The format of this six hour training program is video vignettes with small group discussion and experiential exercises so that leaders and parents will begin to understand the extent to which children feel the effects of their parents divorce and give parents the necessary information and skills to protect their children during this stressful time. This skills - based program is often mandated by family courts for divorcing parents. This model is designed to give leaders a workshop model so that these skills can be taught to divorcing parents in a group setting and deepen the emotional experience of the video program. This training will enhance the counselor’s skills and confidence in working with parents in a one to one counseling setting whether parents are divorcing or merely in a family therapy session. This program is important no matter how long ago the divorce has taken place and is very helpful in step family situations. Part of the day’s training is designed to work with children themselves to help alleviate the pain and anxiety of their parent’s divorce. Reduction of children's pain can help improve attention span and grades, raise test scores, improve behavior, reduce anxiety, lessen depression and the possibility of drug and alcohol problems as well as long term relationship problems. Children in the Middle was developed by Dr. Jack Arbothnot and Dr. Don Gordon professors at Ohio University, and is based on their extensive research. These research results have been presented at both national and international conferences. It has received accolades from parents, judges, psychologists, and attorneys for its practical help during this stressful period. It is currently being used in courts and counseling clinics nationwide. Children in the Middle is a SAMHSA model program and as such qualifies for federal grant monies. Counselors may request a free preview kit of CIM. See contact information below. What makes this program unique:
