Training programme for Separated Parents
The purpose of this course is to provide a skills-based, “no blame, no shame” online educational program for parents in divorce or separation who could benefit from learning new communication, emotion management, and problem-solving skills.
The primary goal is to teach parents the skills necessary to effectively resolve co-parenting disagreements while remaining calm and protecting their children from the conflict. The course may be voluntary, recommended, or mandated by courts or other professionals.
At present Shared Parenting Scotland is running an evaluated pilot of the training, for which the full cost is reduced to £50 for people who are willing to take part in the evaluation.
Would you like to learn new skills to help you effectively co-parent with your ex-partner, and potentially avoid costly legal fees?
