Created for divorcing parents and their children, the Purple Family video provides insight on difficult issues that arise when separation occurs. In the video, all family members live in a world that is purple, a balanced mixture of red and blue. But as signs of separation appear, husband and wife and all surroundings turn distinctly red or blue. The video is a key part of O`ahu's Kids First, a divorce education program of the Family Court. All divorcing parents and their children between the ages of 6 and 18 are required to participate in the program before the divorce will be granted. The Kids First sessions typically begin with a welcome and explanation of the program's objectives by a Family Court judge. Parents and children watch the video together. They are then divided into two groups - one for parents, the other for children. An experienced mental health professional guides participants through sessions that include a variety of learning and role-playing activities. |
