Co-Parenting Foundations
An Evidence-Based Program for Effective Shared Parenting
About This Program
The Co-Parenting Foundations Program is a research-based course designed to help divorced and separated parents work together more effectively—for their child’s benefit. Whether you’re navigating a recent separation, managing different parenting styles, or working to reduce conflict, this program provides practical tools grounded in decades of research on child development and family wellbeing.
This isn’t about blame or fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about learning skills that make shared parenting easier and creating a stable, supportive environment where your child can thrive.
What You’ll Learn
The program covers six key areas, with your path tailored to your family’s needs based on an initial assessment:
Module 1: Building Mutual Support
Learn to support each other’s parenting—even when you disagree. Discover how teamwork impacts your child’s development.
Module 2: Communication & Conflict
Develop practical strategies to keep conversations child-focused. Learn the PEACE method for resolving disagreements.
Module 3: Your Child’s Experience
Understand how children experience their parents’ relationship and learn to recognize signs of stress at different ages.
Module 4: Protecting Children
Recognize harmful patterns like triangulation and learn strategies to shield your child from adult conflicts.
Module 5: Active Engagement
Explore why both parents’ involvement matters and learn to encourage—rather than gate-keep—each other’s parenting.
Module 6: Healing & Growth
Support your child through transitions. Learn what healthy adjustment looks like and build new family structures.
