Summary/Abstract: In the context of contemporary family dynamics, which are characterized by an increasing number of families experiencing separation, the issue of the support that children receive in both the family and school communities is becoming increasingly relevant. Educational institutions can provide effective support for these children and their parents, positively impacting their academic development and personal well-being. This raises the question of teaching professionals' awareness of and preparedness to provide support during the process of parental separation. This study presents results from two focus groups with 23 educators. It aims to highlight the main challenges educational specialists face when working with children from separated families and their parents. The study also identifies the resources and tools that help specialists overcome these challenges. The analysis of the results reveals several significant issues, such as challenges in communicating with parents, the necessity of acquiring more knowledge and understanding regarding the approach to children from separated families and their parents, and the importance of aligning the interaction between the various support roles within the school institution.
