The Place of Refuge: Calming the Storm of Divorce offers the latest help available for parents so that they can better protect their children. Helping both children and parents find a way through the hurtful, and often life-long traumatic experience of divorce, less scarred, is absolutely imperative.
We are currently in the Planning Phase of an Audio/Visual Curriculum for Divorcing Parents to help protect their children from the horrible scars of divorce. The Curriculum will combine the ancient Hawaiian traditions and the latest findings of Brain Science to protect their children's emotional health. Parents will be referred to the class by divorce courts and judges, so that they will benefit from the knowledge they gain, by being better able to protect their children and future generations from the emotional scars of divorce.
This is the message of the Film Documentary and our Primary goal. Join us to create a difference in the lives of children and parents everywhere!

"This Documentary is tasked with providing information on how to protect your children from emotional scaring, caused by divorce and family dysfunction. Long-term consequences are now being seen in today's society. Our goal is to explain how parents can avoid further damage and alleviate trauma and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). The film combines ancient Hawaiian Traditions with the newest brain research for an interesting point-of-view. I hope you find this documentary very insightful."

Children don't always tell their parents what they are feeling and are worried about. Unspoken feelings create anxiety and often behavioral and emotional problems that can last a lifetime.
A Perspective from Mimi:
"As one of the producers of this Documentary. I know about these scars. I was a child of divorce during the 1940s when divorce was rarely mentioned and often spoken about in hushed tones. At that time, society viewed divorce as a stigma. Parents had no idea of the impact that divorce could make on their children. As a result, it was regarded as a family secret, never to be revealed to anyone outside the family. Now over fifty percent of children in the classroom have divorcing or separated parents. But children’s hearts are still hurting.
Although it is no longer a stigma, it is still a very difficult and painful experience for parents and their children. Both their psyches are wounded. Long-term emotional scars are often the consequences and create negative behaviors of all kinds for both children and parents. The pain has never decreased for children because most parents don’t fully understand the impact their divorce has upon them. Parents don’t always have the skills necessary to make sure children feel safe, protected and loved. But they can learn how to make this a much less traumatic experience for them if they have the skills and know how. Our goal is to show what can take place during this difficult time in the life of both children and their parents to avoid much of the trauma felt by both."
