Abstract
Despite the fact that children are negatively impacted by family separation and divorce (Amato, 2001; Dreman & Shemi, 2004; Kelly, 2000) there is a paucity of information regarding evidence-based social work practice with children coping with family disruption. In order to address this gap, the authors describe the process and outcomes of a quasi-experimental evaluation (N = 79) designed to reduce the behavioral, emotional, and academic problems that children often face when experiencing divorce or parental separation. Results of data analysis (paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and analysis of variance) suggest (p <.05) that the intervention is effective in helping children cope with family disruption. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
