Serving the Needs of Separating and Divorcing Families: A National Survey of Extension Parenting Education Programs and Resources

Abstract

An online survey was developed to map Extension's presence in divorce education initiatives and to catalogue the amount, type, and availability of resources that each state has dedicated to meeting the needs of this parent audience. Requests for participationwere sent to members on the National Extension Human Service listserv and resulted in representation from 48 out of 50 states and one U. S. territory. Results document a national presence, outline the nature and expression of Extension divorce education programs, and suggest a direction for future collaboration related to this topic. © 2013 Extension Journal Inc.
