Help and Resources for Separated, Divorced, and Never-Married Parents

For the past several years in the United States, there have been more than 800 000 divorces and parent separations annually, with over 1 million children affected. (https://www.cdc.gov/). Children and their parents may experience emotional trauma before, during, and after a separation or divorce.
