Kids In The Middle (KITM) provides counseling, education and support for families from the time parents make the decision to separate, during the divorce process and afterwards. KITM helps children ages 3 1/2 through 18 cope with their fears, anxiety, depression and anger and teaches them coping skills that will help them during the family transition and well into the future.
