Popis: Parents who participated in Kids First, Inc., a court-mandated seminar designed to help them understand their children's needs during the divorce process, were contacted for a three-year follow- up to assess the impact of the program. The program was also studied by observing the seminar at two different times, and by interviewing key personnel responsible for its implementation. Preliminary results indicate that the program does have the desired impact. The program mission-to give divorcing parents information about how the divorce process affects children and what they can do to minimize their children's pain-seems to be well understood by the program presenters, referring judges, and by the parents themselves after intervention. Findings and methodological problems of the research are presented.
