CO-PARENTING SEMINARS

Co-parenting is a choice parents make to focus on the needs of their children while parenting from separate homes. Even in the best of circumstances, co-parenting can be difficult due to past hurts and different parenting styles. This four-hour, court-approved parenting class "Two Parents, Two Homes" will equip you with knowledge and skills to co-parent peacefully. You will learn to:

​

  • Keep children out of parental conflict

  • Clarify parenting responsibilities

  • Identify your child's needs during this transition

  • Reduce and resolve conflict

  • Determine financial responsibilities

  • Improve communication with your children and the other parent

FEE: $50

LOCATION: In-person at the Franklin County library in Rocky Mount, VA or virtually on Zoom.

DATES: Offered once monthly. Select your date during registration.

This was a wonderful alternative to court and the mediator was amazing.  I really am pleased that mediation was offered and it worked great!  Thanks so much!

Court-Referred Client

Exceptional training! I learned new information that can be immediately applied. So much information to be shared ... I wish the training was longer!

Group Training Attendee

I left this training with an arsenal of how to improve my communication with my kids so that my expectations are clear and they know their feelings are important and valid.
