Anita Ault: "How to Help Kids Cope with Divorce"

Anita Ault lives in Elk Ridge, Utah and is the mother of two teenage daughters. She has been a single mom for over 15 years. She has been married multiple times and that has given her great insight into what impact different co-parenting relationships have on children. Anita is very down to earth and easy to talk to. She has more flaws than most, but is willing to be open and share her experiences to help others grow.

Anita Ault graduated with her MPA Degree from BYU in April of 2013. Her education was completed entirely as a working single mother. Before earning her MPA she attended Utah Valley University and got a BS in Psychology with a minor in Political Science. While at BYU, Anita worked with several non-profit organizations performing research to assist foundations in allocating grant money. She also worked as an intern for Governor Herbert performing duties in the office during the legislative session.

Prior to school, Anita worked as a real estate broker for eight years. After getting her education she started a real estate company for referral agents and also works full time as an operations manager for Pillar to Post Home Inspections. Ms. Ault has also worked more than ten years in an office setting as both an office manager and personal assistant for several businesses and executives.

Personally she enjoys the outdoors and has spent a great deal of time with recreational activities including ropes courses and an extreme zipline owned by her parents in Provo Canyon. She also loves to travel and spend time riding her horses in the mountains.

Anita's workshop will address the many struggles and fears about divorce and our kids. Will they hate me forever? Will they be normal? Will this cause them to have relationship issues in the future?

Will they turn to drugs or alcohol because they feel alone? Will they be the stereotypical “kids of divorce”?

We all wonder these things and pray the decision to get divorced was the right one for our kids. Anita will candidly discuss concerns and give advice from divorced parents, young kids and adult kids who have been impacted by divorce. Anita has 2 very well rounded kids who have proven that kids of divorced parents can be ok.
