The Sandcastles™ Program is a group style program for children of ages 6 to 17 aims at helping them cope with divorce or separation through sharing and listening to other children in their age group.

Age appropriate groups help children see that they are not alone and that their thoughts and feelings are similar to many others who are experiencing divorce. Leaders are trained to facilitate innovative group activities that help the children discuss and focus on their feelings.

The program has achieved international acclaim as featured in various magazines including People, Time, Parents and newspapers including the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, and Miami Herald.
