ChildSharing board member Rosalind Sedacca has announced that ChildSharing, Inc. received two 15th Annual Communicator Awards: Award of Excellence for Academic Education and Award of Distinction for Family/Parenting. The Award of Excellence, the highest honor, is given to those entries whose ability to communicate puts them among the best in the field. The Award of Distinction is presented for projects that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.

ChildSharing.com launched in late 2008 as a one-stop internet website for divorcing parents. "What sets them apart from other sites on this topic, is that ChildSharing offers interactive co-parenting classes that can be taken at the parent's convenience," says Sedacca who joined the Board more than a year ago. "In addition there is family law information as well as county-specific details to provide families with the knowledge and resources they need as they transition through divorce into their new lives."

The 2009 Communicator Awards received over 7,500 entries from across the US and around the world; the Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program in the category. They are judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), an organization of communications experts from a variety of disciplines within the visual arts community. They are dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media.

Sedacca is founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network (www.childcentereddivorce.com) and author of the interactive ebook, How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce? A Create-a-Storybook Guide to Preparing Your Children -- with Love! She was approached by ChildSharing because of her active role in trying to transform the way parents approach divorce throughout the United States and beyond. She is a strong advocate of educating parents about the consequences of their behavior upon their children in the months and years following their divorce.

"We need to bring awareness to parents of how their decisions affect their children's emotional well-being during and after divorce," notes Sedacca. "Through the excellent parenting programs provided by ChildSharing we can accelerate that awareness and help parents create better outcomes for themselves and their children. As ChildSharing grows from county to county, more parents will have more options for successful co-parenting, minimizing the negative consequences of divorce on children. These awards are a validation that ChildSharing is making an impact across the U.S."

Julie Johnson, ChildSharing, Inc.'s Vice President, says "We are thrilled with this distinct honor. Recognizing the need for cost-effective online educational programs in today's economy is ever present. We are happy to provide both counties and residents new alternatives and technologies to meet the changing demand. ChildSharing is a cost effective and efficient solution to meeting the court mandated parent education requirement."

ChildSharing, Inc. is rapidly gaining attention throughout the country because of its innovative approach to disseminating divorce-related content. ChildSharing provides economic relief to the demand on county resources so they may provide education to parents who may not have otherwise received it. The entire program is built for the counties, at no cost to them, to integrate and offer to their residents.
