Help keep kids on track.

Kids with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) like divorce are vulnerable to having trouble at school—academically, socially, and behaviorally.

And while educators do what they can to support their students, they can feel caught between warring parents and under-skilled in supporting grieving children.

You can reduce the impact of divorce in your school district by equipping teachers and parents with specialized resources to meet the needs of two-home families.

When school districts partner with Parent Team, everyone wins.
