Parenting Through High Conflict Separation and Divorce

Our Approach

Separation and divorce is stressful and impacts the whole family.   

This six-week course is for parents of children of all ages who are experiencing a high conflict separation or divorce.  With the guidance and knowledge of a qualified facilitator, parents will explore concrete ways to deal with high stress situations between themselves and the co-parent, how parent conflict affects children and how to minimize your child’s exposure to conflict.

There is telephone registration to ensure co-parents are not registered in the same course and can experience a safe place to share and receive support.
