Since 2017, Successful Co-Parenting has been satisfying the court-mandated parenting seminar in Snohomish County. Our current 4-hour live online program in both English and Spanish is offered several times each month.
We have received many wonderful testimonials from our students who are grateful for the new perspective they gained about the parenting role and the practical tools they learned for addressing their children’s needs as well as better dealing with co-parenting conflicts. Some have even described the course as “transformational”, and many who were somewhat annoyed with the court’s mandate have expressed surprise at how useful the training is and how much they learned.
Following the interests and needs of our students, we are also developing more focused online training which will allow students to create an Individualized Co-Parenting Action Plan to bring intentionality to their learning and parenting skill development. We have also created a new Podcast: as a resource for parents that want to strengthen their collaborative parenting skills.
We know that you have an opportunity to shape the direction your clients take when navigating a divorce and continuing to parent/co-parent during this stressful life transition. We hope you will refer them to us. Here you can download our most recent brochure.
We thank you for referring your clients to us. You can stay reassured that we are committed to help instill parenting skills that will shape the lives and futures of children in our communities by providing science-informed parenting education with practical tools that enable our students to experience for themselves the role that personal growth plays in their efforts to be successful parents.
