Description of the Program

Most separating parents come to the process emotionally overwhelmed, uncertain about what to do, and unprepared to deal with the complexities of parenting their children out of two homes.

This intensive four-day virtual course will provide professionals working with separating and divorcing parents  foundational information, skills, strategies, tools, and resources to guide co-parents toward child-centered solutions and help them achieve more successful long-term outcomes.

Our training team will use a combination of engaging lectures, experiential engagement exercises, comprehensive case studies, media, break-out room exercises, and large group discussions to maximize learning and expand skills.

Upon completion of this course, you will gain:

• A greater awareness of how to help co-parents minimize the overall impact of family change on their children.

• Information about how age and stage of development affect children’s adjustment and how you can use that knowledge when developing parenting plans.

• An understanding of the core tenets of successful co-parenting.

• Knowledge about the emotional aspects of loss and grief for parents and children and how those dynamics show up in the room.

• Skills for addressing complex issues that need to be discussed openly to avoid future coparenting conflicts.
• New insights into the long-term implications of parental separation and conflict for teens and adult children.

• Tools that will help practitioners cultivate innovative approaches to working with co-parents and crafting parenting plans that address the complexities of parenting out of two homes.

• Practical application skills by engaging in interactive exercises and case studies to implement new strategies and develop scripts for engaging with a variety of clients.
