Advice for teens of separated parents

A NATIONWIDE service for the children of separated parents should be available by the end of the year.

The Teen Between program, which was set up in the wake of the 1995 divorce referendum, provides counselling services to affected teenagers.

“We have got an increase in funding and that is in response to the need. The rate of divorce is rising and many young people are being affected,” said co-ordinator Claire Missen.
