Focus on Kids is a workshop to help divorced and separated parents learn how to nurture and support their children through the divorce process and to help parents who are living apart develop ways to work together effectively as co-parents. Focus on Kids satisfies Missouri's educational requirement for parents who are divorcing or filing a motion to modify.

Conducted in cooperation with Missouri’s circuit courts, the Focus on Kids program satisfies the law that requires parents who are divorcing and creating or modifying a custody order to complete an educational parenting program.
