Kids’ Turn helps children and parents
through parental separation.
Kids’ Turn is the only organization of its kind. Based in San Francisco, we are the only nonprofit organization providing a comprehensive and proven program for children and family members who are affected by familial separation. Our goals are to:
•Help children cope with parental separation. Our programs help children understand and cope with the loss, anger and fear that often accompany familial separation. We do this by providing a safe place for children to discuss their thoughts and feelings and show them that they are not alone.
•Help family members support their children. Our programs help mothers, fathers and grandparents learn how to support their children to prevent at-risk behavior. Our programs teach the skills needed to understand the child’s perspective.
•Support the diversity of participants. Classes are conducted locally in English, Chinese and Spanish. Our participants include people from all types of families, including single-parent homes and alternative families.
•Demystify and de-stigmatize the separation process. Half of all U.S. marriages end in divorce or separation. Kids’ Turn promotes a healthy perspective and helps families understand that they are not alone.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Family Services, Human Services
Mission: Kids’ Turn is committed to reducing the conflict in families--conflict that has the potential to victimize children. We provide workshops for children ages 4-17, and their parents; an additional program (Early Years) is conducted for parents only of children ages 0-3. Services for children are free; parents pay on a sliding scale. Kids’ Turn services are in four Bay Area counties; plus seven licensed affiliates operate nationwide.
Programs: Kids' Turn's San Francisco office provides a minimum of twenty workshops annually in four Bays serving a minimum of 1000 people. We conduct bilingual (Spanish-English) services and offer intermittent parent seminars. Future plans for 2001-2002 include implementation of a Step-Family Curriculum. Kids' Turn is uniquely linked to the Family Court System and we receive many referrals from mediators, attorneys and judges. Many of our families are court-ordered participants.
