When parents fight and demonise each other after divorce, children are caught in the middle. These parents live in a truth: I am doing everything I can to rescue my child from this bad other parent. Judges, Child protection, Mediators and others can be involved. Children develop symptoms, they cannot express themselves, they cannot concentrate in school, they get confused, scared or angry. In the Lorentzhuis we started a project for these families. We make a group of six families. The parents come together in a group with two therapists. The focus of this group is to become a better team as parents. We work with verbal and non verbal interventions and with reconciliation rituals. The children are involved in creating all kinds of artistic expressions around their experiences being the child of fighting divorced parents. They prepare theatre performances, clips, graffiti, drawings and music. A drama therapist and a child therapist coach the children in the making of this performance. The children group and the parentsgroup come together in the same house: the Lorentzhuis. During the pause all the families are together. In the workshop this program will be explained and illustrated with videoclips of the groups. With the participants we do exercises from the program.
