Kids' Turn San Diego is a caring non-profit organization for children and parents experiencing family separations or military transitions that offers specially designed programs facilitated by trained and experienced mental health professionals and credentialed teachers for never married, separated and divorced families and children and families experiencing military related transitions. Our progr

ams include Family Workshops for separated and divorced families, Continuing the Conversation Counseling for Children, Peak Performance Military Family Classes and a Step-parent Success Support Group. "My parents are divorced and I've been living in two houses for a really long time. When my family started the Family Workshop, I told my mom and dad that I really wish they would both come to my soccer games together like all the other kids on my team. Last night, they came to my game and sat near each other. And they didn't even fight! My friends all noticed and it was awesome!" - Joshua, age 11, Family Workshop Graduate

With almost 50% of marriages ending in divorce, Joshua's story is just one of many! Since 1996, our mission has been to promote, secure and support the well-being of children experiencing family separations so children can worry less about their family situation and focus more on being a kid. "I used to feel sad when my parents argued all the time, but they listened to me and NOW, we're all getting along better, even though we have 2 houses!" - Jamie, age 9 , Family Workshop Graduate

"When I think of being a military kid, it means unity, peace, loyalty, brave, sustainable and freedom. This is what my mom and dad do for us!" - Cassie, age 12, Peak Performance Military Family Class

In one year, over 100,000 kids in San Diego County experience the divorce of their parents. These transitions are difficult for everyone and can often lead kids to feel helpless, sad, guilty, angry, and many other difficult emotions.

Making mistakes is a part of life. As a parent, be gentle with yourself and know that mistakes will happen. The most important thing you can do as a parent is simply love and listen to your child. And, if you make a mistake, own it, ask for forgiveness and move forward.
