Kids' Turn San Diego promotes, supports and secures the well-being of children who are experiencing family separations And they didn't even fight!
(4)
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. Please meet Joshua who loves to play soccer. "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. 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
Kids’ Turn San Diego brings peace to children by empowering them to share their thoughts and feelings with others while helping their parents gain insight about the impact of how their behaviors affect their children.

We honor and thank our fallen service members this Memorial Day. Fallen but never forgotten.
Did you know April was National Parental Alienation Month? Let’s take a look at what this means from the perspective of a KTSD Family Workshop Teen Graduate.
"From a child of a divorced family that was confused by a parent using the word “alienating”, here’s my perspective. Alienating should not be weaponized; It should not be used to hurt your loved ones. As a child of divorce, oftentimes I would fall in the middle of an argument, or be the center of it. Being in the middle of one more problem only pushed me further into confusion and isolation... Kids’ Turn San Diego helped my family learn, and helped me heal."
Check out the full blog written by a KTSD Family Workshop Teen Graduate to learn more about their experience with "alienation", their perspective on the word, and recommendations for parents to help their children.

"For those like me, a child of divorce, gratitude is an especially necessary skill and mindset to implement in daily life. This year, Kids’ Turn San Diego’s Garden of Gratitude campaign represents the overarching process of giving thanks."
