Children in the Middle
The co-parenting program is designed to help adults raise children between two homes. Arkansas does not have a mandated requirement, although several parties within the judicial system, who have concerns about the welfare of these children, are requesting some type of programming for the care givers.
The program covers the guidelines for co-parenting education which includes information on the following issues:
- The emotional effects of divorce on parents;
- The emotional and behavioral reactions to divorce by young children and adolescents; Parenting issues relating to the concerns and needs of children at different development stages;
- Stress indicators in young children and adolescents;
- Conflict management;
- Family stabilization through development of co parenting relationships;
- The financial responsibilities of parenting;
- Family violence, spousal abuse, and child abuse and neglect and last the availability of community services and resources
This program consists of 2 sessions, each session is 4 hours. Part One, The Adults, and Part Two, The Children. We recommend that Part one be taken first. Classes are offered once a month, one evening and one Saturday morning. Cost is $70.00 per person, per session. Certificates are given at the completion of each session.

Personal Development/Improved Self Esteem
Low self esteem can and does affect our work when interacting with others and making decisions or completing tasks. For our workplace, it is important that employees can identify "low self esteem" versus "Unhealthy self esteem". This program allows people to work on two basic principals which form the foundation for a necessary healthy self esteem. We believe the BALANCE of worthiness and competency are what makes things work. When a healthy sense of worthiness and competency is balanced, a person can focus on the values of realistic goals.
Healthy Living
Healthy lifestyles are about making positive choices that enhance your personal, physical, mental and spiritual health. This includes choosing nutritious foods, staying physically active, and making right decisions.
Physical activity and exercise are sometimes thought of the same thing; however we think they are slightly different. Exercise can be categorized as a form of leisure-time physical activity that is planned, structured and repetitive. On the other hand physical activity includes all activity- either planned or un-planned. Eating nutritiously and identifying adequate portions in is part of our healthy living program. For more information regarding this program, please contact us.
