Parenting Facilitation

Our Parenting Facilitation service offers professional guidance and support for parents struggling with co-parenting during or after a divorce. We assist parents in making decisions and learning to collaborate effectively for the well-being of their child/children. Our service aims to reduce conflict, improve relationships, and create a positive and safe environment for your child/children. 

We understand the difficulties of co-parenting, including issues with anger, distrust, and communication, and we are here to help. Many families experience ongoing conflict even after divorce, often due to disagreements over matters not addressed in a parenting plan or a court order. This environment can have negative effects on children, leading to emotional and behavioral problems.

Our goal is to help parents navigate these challenges and create a more harmonious environment for their child/children.

Parenting facilitation is a valuable process that not only helps parents navigate the challenges of co-parenting post-divorce, but significantly benefits the emotional and psychological well-being of the child.

Disclaimer
It's essential to note that parenting facilitation is court ordered  and is distinct from therapy. While facilitators may provide guidance and support, their role is primarily focused on practical solutions to parenting disputes rather than addressing psychological or emotional issues.
