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 find out more about the psychotherapy services Better Life Counseling Center offers, please click here.

Participant will receive a manual and resource guide, as well as a certificate indicating completion of the Parenting Separately course.
