Cooperative Coparenting through Separation or Divorce Program Kit

Description

NEW!  Cooperative Coparenting through Separation or Divorce Program Kit

Meet Cooperative Coparenting through Separation or Divorce, also known as COCO!  This newly revised, second edition program helps group leaders teach parents how to shield their child from parental conflict related to separation or divorce. Over 8 sessions (16 hours), parents learn to defuse conflict by minimizing blame and taking responsibility for their contribution while establishing a positive, long-term, cooperative relationship with the other parent.

Written by therapists Susan Boyan and Ann Marie Termini, it is the most extensive, informative and interactive cooperative parenting resource to date examining the complex realities of divorce and separation.

How the coparenting program works:

Facilitated by a parent educator, the 8-week program is part video and part group discussion. It is recommended for groups of 10-16 parents. Each session is designed to last 2 – 2.5 hours.

This newly revised program includes all of the key concepts of the original classic, such as:

• Educating parents on the impact their conflict has on their children
• Educating parents on how to replace destructive reactions with constructive responses.
• Teaching parents the practical skills they need to manage anger, increase impulse control, resolve conflict and talk to each other without arguing

Plus new topics:

• How to set up a two home communication system
• Challenging parents to confront negative patterns
• Taking more responsibility
• Dealing with typical issues such as returning clothing
• Handling transfers
• Handling finances
• The impact of a significant other dating

The powerful and practical Parent’s Guide provides vital information and gives real-life examples and worksheets so parents can practice their new skills in the comfort of their own home. It serves as a useful reminder of effective strategies long after the course is over—a must have for all course participants!
