Children in Between is an approved course curriculum accepted by Florida DCF to fulfill requirements regarding Parent Education and Family Stabilization. Florida Statute 61.21 requires that parents involved in a dissolution of marriage complete a 4-hour parenting class if they have children under 18 years old.

Children In Between is a skills-based program that helps children and parents deal with the children’s reactions to divorce. Divorcing parents may use their children to manipulate and/or control each other around a variety of personal, social, and financial issues. These tactics increase the stress and anxiety typically experienced by children of divorce and can increase children’s risk for behavior problems, depression, delinquency, substance use, teen pregnancy, school failure and dropout, and suicide. The course seeks to alleviate children’s problems such as:

Loss of concentration and attention
Declining grades and behavior problems at school
Withdrawal from friends
Emotional outbursts and health problems
Serious anger with one or both parents
Delinquency and substance use

She facilitates [people learn through experience] workshops and classes that promote success in all aspects of life. Her philosophy is that everyone is capable of creating the life they want to live if they learn the right tools and strategies, learn to embrace their failures as feedback [sometimes it is just changing your point of view], are willing to ask for help and collaboration, and take their power back in life by taking responsibility for their part in the creation of any situation they find themselves in. . . . and can forgive their self and others. Faustine’s Masters is in Adult Education and she completed the Family Mediation course for the state of Florida in 2019.
