What About the Children (W.A.T.C.)

For over 10 years, W.A.T.C. has been helping families transition through the separation and divorce process more effectively, with minimal trauma to the children. Successful transition depends on the parents and their ability and willingness to co-parent in a positive way.

The classes teach these families how to communicate and make this transition successfully. To date, over 1,200 parents and children experiencing separation and divorce have taken the class in Monterey County. Many of these participants go on to receive individual and family therapy to help further their positive emotional growth related to separation and divorce.

This program consists of four 1 1/2 hour sessions.  Parents will be placed in concurrent but separate classes, while children will be placed in groups according to their ages (4 yrs. to 18 yrs.)

Monterey classes are held at the United Methodist Church at 1 Soledad Dr. (on the corner of Pacific St. and Soledad Dr).  There will be two sessions, both held on Thursdays from 6:30pm to 8:00pm on the following dates:  2/4, 2/11, 2/18, 2/25 and 8/5, 8/12, 8/19 & 8/26.

Salinas classes are held at Monterey Park Elementary at 410 San Miguel.  There will be two sessions, both held on Tuesdays from 6:30pm to 8:00pm on the following dates: 4/6, 4/13, 4/20 & 4/27 and 10/5, 10/12, 10/19 & 10/26.
