Many divorcing and single parents
are unprepared for the challenges they face. That is why
Better Life Counseling Center has created
Parenting Separately: a 3 hour class designed to
meet the needs of single, divorced and divorcing
parents.
The Parenting Separately
class will achieve 3 goals:
-
Learn to restore and rebuild your life by
effectively coping with the emotional/psychological
distress created by divorce.
-
Learn to protect and guide your children through the
lifestyle changes created by divorce
-
Learn to establish a cooperative and collaborative
co-parenting relationship
Frequently Asked
Questions:
Who
is the Parenting Separately class for?
It is for any divorced,
divorcing, or single parent. Even if conflict with
your co-parent/partner is high, you can learn the
principles of Cooperative Co-Parenting.
Do
both biological parents need to attend the class?
While it would be
best if both biological parents complete the program, it
is not required. Some parents prefer to attend
separate sessions from their co-parent.
Is
the Parenting Separately class therapy?
No, the class is not
therapy; neither is it a support group. The
purpose of the class is to present information concisely
in an interactive setting. If you would like to
