PARENTING APART COURSE
(from 28th July)

Supporting Parents. Prioritising Children.

When parents separate, it’s a challenging time for the entire family – especially for children. The Parenting Apart Programme helps separated or separating parents to put their children’s emotional and psychological wellbeing at the heart of every decision, while learning to communicate and co-parent more effectively.

WHAT IS THE PARENTING APART PROGRAMME?

A structured 4, 8 or 12 week programme that supports parents in developing a respectful, child-focused co-parenting relationship following separation or divorce. The goal is to reduce conflict, improve communication, and create a safe, stable environment for children across both households.

WHO IS IT FOR?

This programme is suitable for:

Separated or divorcing parents experiencing conflict or communication breakdown
Parents involved in family court proceedings
Families seeking an alternative to lengthy and costly legal routes
Parents looking to develop a Parenting Working Agreement (PWA) together
Child looking upset while parents argue behind her

How it works

The programme includes 5 structured sessions:

  1. Individual 1-to-1 Sessions – One session with each parent to establish trust and understand individual concerns

  2. Joint Sessions – Focused on improving communication, reducing conflict, and building a respectful parenting partnership

  3. Parent Working Agreement – A tailored agreement that outlines care arrangements, contact schedules, education, holidays and more, placing the child’s best interests at the centre

This agreement can be used alongside existing Court Orders if relevant.
