Families First

The Families First classes in St. Lucie County will be held at 2967 W. Midway Road, Fort Pierce, Florida 34981 

Families First is a five-hour educational seminar for divorcing parents who have minor children. The program focuses on making the transition from marriage to divorce with minimum trauma to your children.

The CASTLE uses a parenting curriculum developed by Families First, a not-for-profit organization, providing critical preventative services to families. The curriculum educates parents and family members on ways to handle the additional tasks that divorce places on childhood development. These tasks are addressed through lecture, video tape, role play and discussion.

The topics are: Emotional Reactions, Involvement with the Legal System, Changes in your Economic Situation, The Period of Adjustment, Establishing a Co-parenting Relationship, Helping Your Child to Adjust, and New Family Structures.

Pre-registration is recommended, however walk-ins are welcome. Must bring $45.00 cash, a picture ID and plan to arrive 15 minutes early. You must attend the full session to receive a certificate of completion. Attendance will be confirmed with the court. Do not bring children as we don't provide daycare.

Please give 24 hours for online registrations.

If you are registering for more than one person please include the name of the other party.

Please print out your reciept to show at the door for proof of payment.
