The Government of Ireland has developed a series of short videos to support children who are experiencing family change, such as parental separation or divorce, or whose parents are navigating the family courts system.
The animated videos, hosted on gov.ie./FamilyChanges and YouTube, are designed for children aged 8-12 years.
There’s also a downloadable text version of the series adapted for young people up to 15 years of age.
Further information and supports are available at http://www.gov.ie/justice/
It can be pretty confusing when your parents are separating.
There are lots of new words and changes happening around you.
Lots of families go through it though, and they all find their own way through, so just know you’re not in it alone.
This document should help you understand what’s going on a bit better, but if you’ve any more questions, don’t be afraid to ask someone around you for help.
DON’T FORGET If you’re not feeling good, you can always reach out to Childline to talk, just go to Childline.ie or call 1800 66 66 66
