Focus on Communication in Separation

 Focus on Communication in Separation (FOCIS) is a six hour, skill-based communication course teaching parents how to communicate effectively while living apart.

FOCIS aims to enhance the communication skills of parents, reduce parental conflict and improve long term outcomes for children. Upon completing the course, parents will be able to reduce conflict through good communication and problem solving skills, decrease tensions arising from conflicts and decrease stress for children and parents.

Course topics include:

  • The impact of parental conflict on children
  • The importance of listening
  • Definitions of conflict
  • The effective use of questions, paraphrases and summarizing techniques
  • Conflict styles / conflict cycle
  • Mindsets - changing how we see and respond
  • Anger
  • The role of perceptions in misunderstandings and miscommunication
  • Using “I” statements
There is no cost to the parties. 

Participation in FOCIS is voluntary.  Parents are not permitted to attend the course together
