“Parental separation is the second most common cause of distress among children after poverty” –
Dr. Jean-François Chicoine
Confronted with this reality in his clinical practice, Une semaine sur deux follows Dr. Jean-François Chicoine’s quest to understand the consequences of this rupture in a child’s life.
Divided into 4 main themes, each episode is inspired by the different stages of a separation. From the initial shock to the reconstruction, parents and children testify with sensitivity and generosity about the effects of this family breakup and the possible recompositions.
Touching nearly one family out of two, the series approaches with intelligence, sensitivity and audacity the subject of parental separation on the family unit.
