Information for families in BC experiencing separation and divorce

People

There are lots of people around you who can help you cope with your parents splitting up.

Sometimes, just talking to a friend can help a lot, especially if his or her parents have also split up.

You can also talk to an adult you trust, like:

• a relative (an aunt or uncle, or your grandmother or grandfather)
• your teacher
• your school counsellor
• someone at your place of worship
• your family doctor.

These people can help by:

• just listening
• suggesting things you can do to make things better
• giving you the names of other people who can help.
