Four years ago I had the opportunity to take this training for the first time and was recently very fortunate to attend it again. The principles and skills I learned transformed the way I work with parents in my mediation practice and continue to influence my work every day. As a former trainer for a Fortune 500 company, I tend to be fairly discerning when it comes to training programs, presentation quality and real-world applicability. The program once again exceeded my expectations. Christina and Kelly were exceptional, engaging and knowledgeable. The content and materials provided were also exceptionally well done. This training offers practical, compassionate and effective tools for professionals working with separating, divorcing or never-married parents. What I have come to appreciate even more over the years is a child-centered focus not only benefits the children involved, but often helps co-parents communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, and make more thoughtful child-centered decisions during an incredibly difficult chapter in their lives. I believe this approach has positively impacted many of the parents and families I have had the privilege to work with and serve. I often ask my clients: "If you could do everything possible to create a child-centered divorce for your children instead of giving them a childhood centered around divorce and conflict, what would you choose?" I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their skills and improve outcomes for families, the parents and children they support.

The program was invaluable to me, since I work with parents with custody issues. I learned so much and will be more credible as a therapist in dealing with parents, while keeping the children as the important factor.

So many amazing takeaways from this extremely thorough training. The resources, tools, and strategies were all so well researched and thought out. The docs provided were well made and it felt like they were one step ahead of any questions I could have had. I am looking forward to applying these tools and strategies with not only my clients, but with everyday life. I learned so much from not only Christina and Kelly, but from every professional in that room who was taking the training. I encourage anyone who is looking to understand more about co-parenting and how to keep children at the center (not the middle) of all decision making to take this course.

This is a must have training for anyone who is working with high conflict, divorce, in which children are involved. The facilitators are knowledgeable and provide excellent information and resources that will equip any coparenting counselor or advocate with the necessary skills.

The Co-Parenting Specialist (CoPS) training was one of the best investments I’ve made. I use what I learned daily—not as theory, but as practical tools I can implement immediately. The biggest value for me was how actionable the material was: I applied it right away and saw meaningful improvements in real-world co-parenting dynamics. Because of this training, I help clients parent more thoughtfully every week—and I’m able to teach concrete, usable skills that protect kids from the fallout of adult conflict. I consistently recommend CoPS to any professional who wants to deepen their understanding of how separation and conflict impact children, and who wants a clear roadmap for responding with structure instead of reactivity.

This was a wonderful program. I had the opportunity to meet other professionals from all backgrounds but with the same goals. The course itself was not only informative, but very interactive. I would recommend it to anyone looking to be involved in this kind of work.

Hi, my name is Christina McGhee. I’m the lead trainer and creator of The Co-Parenting Specialist® Training Program. I adamantly believe divorce doesn’t have to equal devastation for parents and children, and yet many families fall prey to a system that simply isn’t designed to support them.

Sadly, when parents become caught up in an adversarial process, children suffer life-long consequences.

I started my career educating co-parents to put their children in the center instead of in the middle of their divorce. I quickly learned providing parents with good information, and resources wasn’t enough.

CM Headshot put kids in the center not the middle 2024

In order to effect real change surrounding divorce in our culture – I also had to educate professionals.

I’ve been speaking to and training those multi-disciplinary communities for nearly two decades, and while some important changes have occurred during the span of my career, I am reminded daily there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

I believe that every person who enrolls in this program has the potential to effect great change, and together, we can turn the tide.

I created The Co-Parenting Specialist® Training Program based on a few simple principles.
I believe:

cm H2
  •  Divorce doesn’t have to be devastating.
  • Most parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource during family change.
  • The defining difference between families that manage the process well and those that don’t comes down to two critical aspects: access to good information and support.
  • Good information and support should be available to all families, not just some families.
  • The people best placed to supply those two things and positively shape how families experience divorce are the professionals parents come into contact with in the early stages of the process.
  • When these first responders to divorce are informed about the needs of children and have access to tools and strategies related to helping co-parents, they can become better identifiers, guides, and referrers.

In addition to the resources, skills, and information you’ll receive in this program, you’ll also have an opportunity to join a community of experienced, like-minded, dedicated changemakers. If you’re interested in raising the collective bar for separating parents and, more importantly, children, I would love to have you join our community.

I can’t wait to meet you!

“Most clients don’t seem to care about my other certifications or trainings. I continue to be surprised by how many parents are very curious about my Co-Parenting Specialist Training.”

I highly recommend the Co-Parenting Specialist Training! Especially for mediators who don't come from a therapy or behavioral science background.

It helps to build knowledge and confidence, bringing a thorough and compassionate child development perspective into the separation and divorce conversation.”

Mediator and Conflict Coach
