What this course is meant to support
This course is designed to help you better understand what your child may need during divorce and co-parenting change, while also giving you tools you can use in daily family life.
Build a stronger understanding of cooperative co-parenting and why it matters for your family’s well-being.
Better understand the role of empathy as you parent through stress, change, and uncertainty.
Learn ways to better co-parent children with special needs and emotional concerns during and after divorce.
Work through strategies that can help with emotional stress, family communication, and advocacy for your child.
No parent moves through change without questions. When life feels uncertain, it can be hard to know whether you are saying the right thing, making the right decision, or giving your child what they need most in the moment.
For parents raising children with special needs and emotional concerns, those questions can feel even heavier. You may be balancing emotion, routine, communication, advocacy, and the deep desire to protect your child’s sense of safety through a major family transition.
This course was created to offer guidance in that space. It is meant to support you as you reflect, learn, and move forward with more understanding, more steadiness, and a clearer focus on your child’s well-being.
