In Alberta each government department is required to have a directory of personal information banks (PIBs) and make it available to the public. A personal information bank lists the type of personal information held by a public body. A personal information bank does not provide direct access to an individual’s records.

Parenting After Separation for Families in High Conflict is a three-hour course offered by Alberta Family Justice Services for parents and guardians who characterize their separation and divorce as high conflict. This course is an addition to the Parenting After Separation course that emphasizes the need for parents to work together to raise their children after separation. For some families, the level of conflict between the parents makes communication difficult or impossible. Other parents may experience periods of high conflict alternating with times when things go smoothly. High levels of conflict between parents will always negatively affect children.
