Group Counseling for Children
Each child participating in Group Counseling will first meet individually with the Group therapist to establish rapport, continue the assessment regarding appropriateness for Group Counseling and explain how the Group works. Children are placed into groups with up to seven peers of the same age and grade level. In addition to discussion, Kids In The Middle therapists utilize a variety of age-appropriate therapeutic activities with children in the Group Counseling sessions such as art therapy, play therapy, content-specific games and books, skill-building exercises, social skills exercises, and role-playing. Through the Group Counseling experience, children will successfully learn and utilize positive coping skills. They will benefit from a connection to other children experiencing similar family issues as well as from the confidential and professional assistance of a Kids In The Middle therapist. In Group, children help each other move past the trauma that has been affecting their lives. Children become better equipped to express their fears, concerns, wants, needs and desires so that they can establish a better relationship with their peers and families, and eliminate social and emotional factors that might inhibit their ability to achieve academically and in society.
Co-Parenting Group Counseling
The co-parenting relationship can be challenging to navigate at various seasons of life. The onset of the separation, when there are big decisions to be made regarding children, a co-parent gaining a new significant other- these are just a few of the challenges that can arise. It is helpful to have the support of other co-parents in an environment that offers strategies and techniques for managing these challenges for a successful co-parenting relationship. For this reason, Kids In The Middle offers co-parenting groups that give parents much-needed support and guidance.
Family Counseling
Family Counseling is a helpful way for the entire family or a parent and child to talk about issues together. The goal of family counseling is to create better relationships and communication within the family. We choose to include different family members in our family counseling sessions, depending on the family’s needs.
Individual Counseling for Kids
We also offer Individual Counseling for Children. Individual Counseling is recommended when the needs of the child are better addressed in a one-on-one setting. It is common for Individual Counseling to be supplemented in addition to Group Counseling. These sessions are typically conducted weekly, and activities vary based on the age of the child but include a variety of therapeutic approaches, including play therapy, sand tray therapy, and art therapy interventions
Individual Counseling for Parents
Individual Counseling for Parents enables parents to stabilize themselves emotionally so they can focus on the needs of their children. This service is solution-focused and centers on the parent’s ability to adjust to single parenting and learn how to assist their children through the family transition.
Joint Co-Parent Counseling
Forming a successful co-parenting relationship is often challenging for parents after separation and divorce. Co-parents each have an individual session with an expert Kids In The Middle therapist, then meet jointly. Joint co-parenting counseling helps parents who generally get along, but have a few issues they cannot agree on and would like some assistance.
Blended Family Counseling
Kids In The Middle also offers support for blended families as parents form new homes. These sessions typically begin with the parents and may expand to include other members of the blended family. The goal is to clarify roles in the family and strengthen relationships.
School Outreach Counseling Program (SOC)
The School Outreach Counseling (SOC) Program is a unique, group counseling service provided by Kids In The Middle. The SOC program incorporates an evidence-based therapeutic model, Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP), which is specifically designed to help children cope with challenging family transitions. We work with children using discussion, art activities, games, books, and journals. Our therapists help children learn how to:
– Understand and accept changes in their family
– Work through their grief, sadness, anger, or grief
– Express feelings appropriately and develop healthy coping skills
– Learn how to stay out of the middle of adult conflict
– Stay connected and build healthy relationships with both parents
– Children are referred to the groups by counselors, social workers, teachers, and other school personnel
KITM therapists work with family transitions including parental separation, divorce, remarriage, and children living in single-parent homes. Sessions curre

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
• In the first two years of the planning cycle (2022-20258), the Agency will work to recover from the effects of the pandemic and stabilize its operations with an initial focus on returning to pre-pandemic levels of client service, fundraising, and financial stability.
• The Agency will maintain execution and delivery of core services in accordance with COA standards, while working to expand service offerings to meet additional client needs and achieve its stated goal in its ten-year impact statement: “By 2031, Kids In The Middle will provide 45,000 kids life-changing social and emotional skills to heal from the trauma of divorce and separation.”
• The Agency will move fundraising efforts from a high dependence on successful special events to efforts that are focused on major gifts and can grow donor support to a level that effectively addresses the infrastructure needs of the agency.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
• We began to offer in-office counseling services in January 2022. This will help us achieve our direct service utilization goal of 50% and maximize billing to the Agency’s major funders. We plan to diversify our revenue by offering expanded services; such as the Parenting Class launched in late 2020.
• KITM is working on building relationships with local school districts to partner and provide in-school based group counseling services to children of separation and divorce.
• KITM hired a Director of Development to focus on major gifts and the implementation of the annual fund development plan.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
